Biological Signaling Molecules

Meaning

Biological Signaling Molecules are diverse chemical entities, including hormones, neurotransmitters, and growth factors, that facilitate intricate communication between cells within an organism. They transmit essential information across the cellular membrane or within the cell to precisely regulate physiological processes. This complex, highly organized network is fundamentally essential for maintaining homeostasis and coordinating all bodily functions. Their accurate and timely transmission is critical for health.
