Tissue-Specific Cell Signaling
Silva, Joana Vieira / Fardilha, Margarida / Freitas, Maria João
Signal transduction comprises the intracellular biochemical signals which induce the appropriate cell response to an external stimulus. The players in signal transduction are diverse, from small molecules as first messengers, to proteins, receptors, transcription factors, among many others. The different signaling pathways and the crosstalk between them originates the unique signaling profile of every cell type in the human body. The cell sign...
