Paracrine signalling is a type of local signalling where a cell secretes a signal molecule that affects nearby cells. This is different from hormonal signalling where the signal molecule travels through the bloodstream to affect distant cells, autocrine signalling where the cell responds to its own secreted signal molecule, and synaptic signalling where nerve cells send signals across synapses to other nerve cells or muscle cells.
