genetic signaling

Genetic signaling involves the process by which cells communicate and coordinate actions through messages encoded in DNA. When a cell needs to perform a specific function, it "reads" certain genes, which are segments of DNA that contain instructions for making proteins. These proteins act as signals or tools that influence the cell's behavior or send messages to other cells. This communication system ensures that cells work together harmoniously, responding to changes or signals in the body to maintain health and function. Essentially, genetic signaling is how information stored in our DNA guides cellular activities.
