Signaaltransmissiemethode
Signaaltransmissiemethode refers to the various ways biological cells communicate with each other. This communication is essential for coordinating complex biological processes, from cell growth and differentiation to immune responses and muscle contraction. The fundamental principle involves a signaling molecule, often called a ligand, being released by a donor cell and binding to a specific receptor on a target cell. This binding event triggers a cascade of molecular events within the target cell, ultimately leading to a specific cellular response.
There are several primary modes of signal transmission. Direct cell-to-cell contact is one method, where signaling
The nature of the signaling molecule and the receptor on the target cell determine the specificity and
