Chemical Signaling Matrix

Meaning

The Chemical Signaling Matrix is a conceptual model representing the vast, interconnected network of all chemical messengers, including hormones, neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, and cytokines, that facilitate communication between cells, tissues, and organ systems throughout the body. This intricate matrix is responsible for coordinating the physiological response to internal and external stimuli, thereby maintaining systemic homeostasis and regulating complex functions like metabolism and mood. Dysfunction within this signaling web is a fundamental driver of many chronic endocrine and neurological disorders.
