Understanding the roles of signal molecules is crucial in histology for several reasons:
1. Disease Diagnosis: Abnormal levels or activity of signal molecules can indicate various diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders. 2. Therapeutic Targets: Identifying key signal molecules involved in disease pathways can lead to the development of targeted therapies. 3. Developmental Biology: Studying signal molecules helps elucidate the mechanisms of tissue development and differentiation.
