    chemical messages that cells use to communicate

    Molecular signals are chemical messages that cells use to communicate with each other. These signals can trigger various biological processes, such as cell growth, immune responses, or hair follicle development. For example, in the context of hair growth, specific molecular signals can activate or inhibit the activity of hair follicle cells, influencing whether hair grows or falls out.
