signaalinvälitteisten
Signaalinvälitteisten, a Finnish term, translates to "signal-mediated" in English. It refers to processes or phenomena that occur through the transmission or reception of signals. These signals can be of various forms, including chemical, electrical, mechanical, or electromagnetic. In biological contexts, signaalinvälitteisten processes are fundamental to cellular communication, where cells release signaling molecules that bind to receptors on other cells, triggering specific responses. This intercellular communication is crucial for regulating growth, metabolism, immune responses, and development.
Beyond biology, the concept of signaalinvälitteisten applies to fields like engineering and physics. For instance, in
