**18. Conclusion**

Cell signalling is both enormously important to the understanding of how cells works and immensely complicated. Therefore ideas which can be used to aid in the teaching and study of the subject would be extremely helpful, and an analogy is often a good tool. Music initiates cell signalling events in organisms, but music terminologies are often used to explain aspects of cell signalling. However, music as an analogy for cell signalling events can be an interesting and useful way to look at the principles of signalling and transduction pathways. Such an analogy will be useful to those teaching and studying cell signalling.
