Cell signaling is complicated interactive system that controls and intermediates numerous cellular reactions in the human body. These signaling pathways chiefly comprise interactive proteins that can progress to particular locations. It enables the identification of specific signaling molecules and pathways that contribute to cancer progression. It is a reliable approach to treat such disorders. It also enables simultaneous acquisition of high-resolution bright-field images and robust fluorescent flow cytometry data from cells which enhances comprehensive analysis of cell characteristics. This helps the researchers to identify specific molecules and mechanisms related to the diseases, especially cancer and other disorders.

The global cell signaling market is growing at fast rate due to the growing incidence of chronic diseases and the rapid technological advancements in cell-based research instruments. Also, rising government funding for research to understand cell signaling pathways and their implications on health and disease propels the market growth.

The stringent regulatory standards and the high capital requirement preventing new entries to the market prevents market expansion. Growth opportunities are however offered by the strategic partnerships and collaborations between the major market players that promotes innovation and new product launch.
