Signal Decay Biology

Meaning

Signal Decay Biology is a conceptual term describing the progressive and systemic decline in the efficiency and fidelity of intercellular and hormonal communication that occurs as a central feature of the aging process. This decay is characterized by receptor desensitization, reduced pulsatility of endocrine release, and increased background noise from chronic inflammation, leading to impaired tissue responsiveness and homeostatic failure. The diminished clarity of these vital biological signals is a primary driver of age-related functional decline and disease susceptibility.
