Signal Transduction

Signal transduction is like a communication system within our cells. When a signal (like a hormone or a growth factor) binds to a receptor on the cell surface, it triggers a series of events inside the cell. This signal is then passed along from one molecule to another, like a relay race, until it reaches the target inside the cell that will carry out the specific response. It's like a chain reaction that helps cells respond to their environment and maintain balance.
