Molecular Messaging

Meaning

Molecular Messaging is the fundamental biological process of intercellular and intracellular communication mediated by specific signaling molecules, including hormones, cytokines, growth factors, and neurotransmitters. This complex network of chemical signals dictates all aspects of physiological function, coordinating the activity of distant organs and regulating cellular responses to the environment. In the context of hormonal health, the clarity and fidelity of this messaging are critical for maintaining homeostatic balance and ensuring target tissues respond appropriately to endocrine cues. Disruptions to molecular messaging are central to many pathological states.
