Molecular Communication Packets

Meaning

A conceptual term describing the diverse collection of signaling molecules—such as hormones, neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, and cytokines—that serve as discrete carriers of biological information between cells, tissues, and distant organs. These packets are the fundamental units of physiological communication, orchestrating complex processes including metabolism, immune response, and hormonal feedback loops across the entire organism. Understanding the precise content and delivery dynamics of these packets is essential for interpreting and modulating systemic health.
