Cellular Signaling Diagnostics

Meaning

Cellular Signaling Diagnostics refers to the advanced clinical evaluation of the complex communication pathways within and between cells. This diagnostic approach goes beyond measuring static hormone levels to assess how target tissues actually receive and respond to hormonal or environmental messages. It involves analyzing receptor density, second messenger cascades, and the expression of key regulatory proteins. Understanding these signaling dynamics is essential for identifying true functional deficits that may not be apparent from simple circulating hormone measurements.
