Cellular Communication Science

Meaning

Cellular Communication Science is the comprehensive field of study dedicated to understanding the intricate mechanisms by which cells transmit, receive, and respond to chemical and mechanical signals. This process, also known as cell signaling or signal transduction, is essential for coordinating all physiological functions, from embryonic development to hormonal homeostasis. It encompasses the language cells use to organize themselves into tissues, regulate metabolism, and mount an appropriate immune response. Failures in this communication network are implicated in virtually all chronic diseases, including cancer and autoimmune disorders.
