Signal Transduction and Its Complex Intracellular Communication

Jian Yee

Signal transduction pathways are intricate cellular mechanisms that allow organisms to sense and respond to their environment. This manuscript provides an in-depth exploration of signal transduction, covering its fundamental principles, major components, and diverse roles in cellular processes. It discusses key signaling molecules, transmembrane receptors, and downstream effectors, highlighting the significance of signal transduction in normal physiology and disease. Signal transduction forms the foundation of intercellular communication, enabling cells to coordinate their responses to external cues
