Hormones are signaling molecules that traffic information from one cell to another, typically through a soluble medium like the extracellular fluid. Hormones fall into one of a number of different hormonal classes (eg, steroids, monoamines, peptides, proteins, eicosanoids) and signal through a variety of general (eg, nuclear ...
