Molecular Signalling Precision

Meaning

Molecular Signalling Precision refers to the optimal, error-free transduction of biological information initiated by extracellular stimuli, such as hormones, peptides, or nutrients, across the cell membrane and into the cell’s internal machinery. This precision is fundamentally critical for accurate cellular response, ensuring that the appropriate genes are expressed and the correct physiological actions, such as growth or repair, are executed. A loss of this clarity, often caused by chronic inflammation or receptor desensitization, is a key mechanism underlying many age-related dysfunctions and metabolic disorders.
