Intro to Cell Signaling

The video explores the concept of communication through the game of telephone, linking it to cell signaling. It explains the roles of receptors and signal molecules, detailing the cell signaling process: reception, transduction, and response. Various types of signaling, such as intracellular, intercellular, paracrine, synaptic, and endocrine, are discussed. Examples include steroid hormones and ion channels. The importance of cell signaling in maintaining health and its role in diseases like cancer and HIV is highlighted.

What is the difference between intracellular and intercellular signaling?

How does paracrine signaling differ from endocrine signaling?
