Intercellular Communication Fidelity

Meaning

Intercellular Communication Fidelity refers to the accuracy, clarity, and reliability with which one cell transmits a signal to an adjacent or distant target cell, ensuring the intended downstream biological response is executed precisely as programmed. In the hormonal context, this describes how effectively a circulating hormone, once bound to its receptor, initiates the correct intracellular cascade without significant signal degradation or crosstalk interference. High fidelity is synonymous with robust physiological regulation.
