Cell signaling networks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cell signaling pathways interact with one another to form networks in natural systems.
Such networks are highly complex in their organization and can exhibit a number of emergent properties including bistability and ultrasensitivity. Analysis of cell signaling networks requires a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches including the development and analysis of simulations and models.

Key concepts: Ligand - Receptor (Transmembrane, Intracellular) - Transcription factor (General, Preinitiation complex, TFIID, TFIIH) - Cell signaling networks - Signal transduction - Adaptor protein - Apoptosis - Second messenger system (Ca2+ signaling, Lipid signaling)
Paracrine - Autocrine - Juxtacrine - Neurotransmitters - Endocrine (Neuroendocrine)
