Molecular semiotics

Molecular semiotics is the study of how molecules send and interpret signals in biological systems, similar to how language conveys meaning. It explores how chemical structures act as signs, carrying information that guides cellular processes—like how hormones signal cells to grow or respond. This field examines the "language" of molecules, understanding how their shapes, structures, and interactions encode messages essential for life functions. In essence, molecular semiotics bridges chemistry and communication, revealing the sophisticated ways living organisms use molecular signs to coordinate activities and maintain harmony.
