Crosstalk in the context of research refers to the interference or interaction between different signaling pathways, molecules, or biological processes within a cell or organism. This phenomenon can occur at various levels of biological organization, such as between different genes, proteins, or cellular pathways. Crosstalk is a complex and dynamic process that plays a crucial role in regulating cellular functions, development, and disease states. Understanding and studying crosstalk is important for elucidating the underlying mechanisms of biological systems and for developing new therapeutic strategies.
