The ligand-receptor interaction is critical for signal transduction in biological systems. The binding interaction between a receptor and its cognate ligand has been extensively investigated at the molecular level. However, there are often many non-ligand molecules surrounding receptors, and it is very likely that they function as extraneous noise that disrupts authentic signal transduction. Herein we demonstrated that excitable receptor synchronization during signal transduction is key for noise reduction and signal enhancement.
