    cellular process transmitting signals from surface to nucleus

    SMAD signaling, also known as the SMAD pathway, is a cellular process that transmits signals from the cell surface to the nucleus in response to transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) and related cytokines. This pathway involves SMAD proteins, which are activated by receptor kinases and then move into the nucleus to regulate gene expression. This signaling is crucial for various biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and development, and has implications in conditions like cancer and fibrosis.
