Explore the concept of effectors and signalling pathways in cell biology, focusing on how signals are sorted, integrated, diverged, and converged. Learn about the interconnectedness of different intracellular pathways depicted in Fig 11.2 from Chapter 11 of 'Principles of Cell Biology' by George Plopper.
