Transduction
Transduction (from Latin trans "beyond", "beyond", "beyond"; ducere "to lead") means " passing through " and is used as a technical term in different areas:
- Transduction (genetics) , gene transfer between bacteria by viruses
- Transduction (gene therapy), one-time transfer of genes into a host cell using viruses, which then do not replicate (in contrast to productive infection )
- Transduction (neurobiology), conversion of an external stimulus into a physiological signal, for example phototransduction
- Transduction (cell biology), transmission of a signal into a cell, across the cell membrane, using so-called "second messengers", see signal transduction
