Intracellular Signaling Fidelity

Meaning

Intracellular Signaling Fidelity describes the accuracy, precision, and reliability with which a cell receives, transmits, and executes a molecular signal from an external source, such as a hormone or growth factor, within its internal environment. High fidelity ensures that the intended biological message is delivered without degradation, interference, or crosstalk, leading to the correct and proportional cellular response. This precision is fundamental to maintaining tissue homeostasis, regulating cell growth, and preventing various pathological cellular states.
