Environmental Signal Transduction

Meaning

Environmental Signal Transduction is the complex cellular process by which external stimuli—such as light, temperature, nutrient availability, or environmental chemicals—are converted into specific biochemical or electrical signals inside a living cell. This intricate biological mechanism allows the organism to accurately sense, interpret, and respond adaptively to dynamic changes in its surrounding environment. In the context of hormonal health, this process is absolutely critical for synchronizing the body’s internal clock and endocrine rhythms with the external world’s 24-hour cycle.
