chemosensitive
Responds to molecules
Chemosensitive describes cells, tissues, or organisms that respond to chemical stimuli.
In medicine, the term most often refers to cancers that respond well to chemotherapy: The tumor was highly chemosensitive and shrank rapidly after treatment.
Chemosensitive neurons detect chemical changes in blood or surrounding fluid.
