Learn how signals are relayed inside a cell starting from the cell membrane receptor. The chains of molecules that relay intracellular signals are known as intracellular signal transduction pathways.

Just as a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, so a complex signaling pathway inside of a cell begins with a single key event – the binding of a signaling molecule, or ligand, to its …

Despite these differences, signaling pathways share a common goal: to produce some kind of cellular response. That is, a signal is released by the sending cell in order to make the receiving cell change …

In this article, we'll examine the basic principles of how cells communicate with one another. We'll first look at how cell-cell signaling works, then consider different kinds of short- and long-range signaling …

In multicellular organisms (such as yourself), cell-cell signaling allows cells to coordinate their activities, ensuring that tissues, organs, and organ systems function correctly.

Understand how unicellular organisms use signaling to coordinate behavior. Examine the role of cell-cell junctions in facilitating communication and maintaining tissue integrity. Discover how signaling …

Now that we've drawn out our actual picture of our G-protein let's talk a little bit about how our signalling pathway actually happens. That's the whole point of membrane receptors is that they respond to …

So this is a process that we call signal transduction. What happens during signal transduction is an extracellular signal molecule, so this is our ligand, binds to our membrane receptor, and these …
