id: GO:0031129
name: inductive cell-cell signaling
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: Signaling at short range between cells of different ancestry and developmental potential that results in one cell or group of cells effecting a developmental change in the other. This is often done by secretion of proteins by one cell which affects the neighboring cells and causes them to adopt a certain fate.
