GlossarySignaling Molecules

chemicals that cells use to communicate and coordinate functions

Signaling molecules are chemicals that cells use to communicate with each other. They can be hormones, neurotransmitters, or other types of molecules that bind to specific receptors on target cells, triggering a response. This process is crucial for coordinating various biological functions, such as growth, immune responses, and hair follicle development.
