Summary Introduction

To analyze:

Slow and rapid methods of the cell response to a signaling.

Introduction:

The cell responds to any signal when the signaling molecule binds to the receptor present on its surface. This binding leads to the activation of downstream signaling cascades. Depending upon the type of molecules to which the signaling is transferred the response could be fast or slow.
