    Main Results:

    • Glucocorticoid action at the cellular level follows a universal model involving receptor binding and gene expression modification.
    • This model has significant implications for understanding pathology, pharmacology, and therapeutics.
    • A receptor-based definition of glucocorticoids is proposed as superior to traditional definitions.

    Conclusions:

    • The universal cellular model simplifies the complex effects of glucocorticoids.
    • Receptor-based definitions offer a more precise understanding of glucocorticoids.
    • This review provides a framework for integrating diverse research on glucocorticoid action.
