Particular recognition proteins synthesised by a cell determines which
cells it can and cannot attach to.
If cells from different tissues are separated and then mix together, they
reform int other tissues as the recognition protein binds.
In tissues, cells also interact with the extracellular matrix, a network of molecules secreted by cells. In some tissues, the
extracellular matrix is a major component of the tissue – cartilage.
