Cellular Endocrinology

Cellular endocrinology is the study of how cells communicate and regulate bodily functions through hormones, which are chemical messengers released into the bloodstream. It examines how these hormones affect various tissues and organs, influencing growth, metabolism, and mood. By understanding these interactions at the molecular level, researchers can better grasp how the endocrine system maintains balance in the body and how disruptions can lead to health issues. This field integrates knowledge from molecular biology and physiology to offer insights into hormonal functions and their broader implications for health and disease.
