How a stimulus is perceived and how cells respond to return to the steady state. Cellular receptors or sensors detect stimuli such as hyperoxia. This leads to the translation of this signal via signal transduction pathways, which result in transcription factor activation. This then generates a response such as gene regulation and subsequent protein synthesis and a return to the steady state.
