    Summary

    Hormones regulate all vital biological processes, with recent research revealing their pleiotropic effects. A unified science, hormonology, now encompasses these intercellular regulators and their disease-related activity.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology and Molecular Biology: Focuses on the intricate mechanisms of hormone action and their widespread regulatory roles in cellular processes.

    Background:

    • Hormones are fundamental regulators of vital biological processes, including metabolism, cellular functions, and genome-determined activities like proliferation.
    • Over the last 15 years, research has uncovered novel, pleiotropic effects for the majority of hormones, highlighting their complex actions.

    Discussion:

    • Comparative analysis reveals a fundamental uniformity in the biological functions, significance, and molecular mechanisms of intercellular receptor regulators.
    • This uniformity supports the consolidation of these regulators into a single community, termed 'hormones', and the establishment of a dedicated science, 'hormonology'.

    Key Insights:

    • Hormones exhibit pleiotropic effects, influencing multiple cellular processes and vital functions.
    • A unified understanding of hormone action is emerging, supported by comparative analysis of intercellular receptor regulators.
    • Hormone activity is significantly altered in various disease states.

    Outlook:

    • The establishment of hormonology as a distinct scientific field is proposed to encompass the study of all hormones.
    • Understanding hormonal systems is crucial, as substances influencing them constitute two-thirds of modern medications.
