Cell-to-cell contact signaling is called juxtacrine signaling and requires that the cytoplasm of one cell makes contact with the cytoplasm of another cell. Intracrine signaling is a type of signaling where the signaling molecule remains inside the cell and affects the cell's own behavior. Autocrine signaling is a type of signaling where the signaling molecule released by a cell binds to receptors on the same cell, leading to a response.
