Growth factors typically act as signaling molecules between cells.
Kaye read Mitch's page: Signaling molecules and viruses carry information between people.
Semaphorins are a family of chemical signaling molecules involved in axonal targeting and guidance.
Also, receptors can't perfectly count the number of signaling molecules that pass through.
This patterning occurs early in development and results from the activity of several secreted signaling molecules.
It is mediated by signaling molecules (growth factors) released from cancer cells in response to low oxygen levels.
Many are short peptides, which could act as hormones or signaling molecules that manipulate their hosts.
Erythrocrine depicts red blood cell or erythrocyte for production and release of signaling molecules.
The resulting concentration of signaling molecules in the environment is dependent upon population density.
These function, typically in higher organisms, as hormones and signaling molecules.
