Signal Integration

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Signal integration merges input from two or more cell-surface receptors so a cell produces one unified response only once every required signal is present.

Show

A cell requiring both a growth factor and an adhesion signal before dividing integrates two pathways into one decision.

Watch for

Signal integration requires combined input from multiple pathways, not one pathway merely running faster.
