Cellular Regulation

Meaning

Cellular regulation encompasses the intricate network of molecular processes that govern a cell’s internal activities, including gene expression, metabolism, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. This highly coordinated system ensures the cell responds appropriately to both internal and external stimuli, maintaining tissue and systemic homeostasis. In hormonal health, effective cellular regulation is fundamental, as hormones act as external signals that must be accurately transduced into precise cellular responses. Failures in this regulation can lead to unchecked growth, metabolic dysfunction, or impaired tissue repair.
