Signal transduction

Generations of love in signaling cascade
Save several downstream effectors from ineffectivity
In an amplified fashion,
So that one may lead to several, not necessarily in subpar
Energies divided among filial progeny, but
Possibly synergistic, in tandem with adaptor signals

Downstream amplification multiplied among others
All that come from a single entity, birthing
Several processes––
A ligand so specific, a cascade so precise
All in control of responses and reactions

And what more can several ligands do,
But crosstalk that harmonizes toward a single
Combinatorial phenotypic response
In an all-or-none mechanism,
Fated as it is into a commitment,
A differentiation unlike others, but not unlike some

In this organismal unity, in quorum
All because of signals
That come from upstream
Maybe cyclic, maybe uni- or bi-directional
But towards an ultimate response
That only entirety could depict.
