title: Signal transduction.
abstract: This review outlines some of the developments in intra cellular cell signalling. Details are presented on how growth factors stimulate cells to respond as well as interactions between extracellular matrix and cell adhesion molecules. The relevance of these activations to orthodontics offers scope for further research.
