Molecular Communication Accuracy

Meaning

Molecular Communication Accuracy refers to the precision, fidelity, and efficiency with which signaling molecules, such as hormones, neurotransmitters, and cytokines, are synthesized, transported, received, and interpreted by target cells within the body. High accuracy is essential for maintaining physiological homeostasis, ensuring that every cell receives and correctly acts upon the complex chemical instructions it is given. A loss of accuracy, often due to receptor desensitization or impaired signal transduction, contributes directly to chronic dysregulation and age-related decline, particularly in the endocrine system.
