Ask HN: How do signalling molecules find their targets at large/dense distances?

Though it is understandable that a biology question may be a bit out of range at HN, but maybe you can repurpose some of the data collection and thought algorithms for this question or have a chance to ask someone experienced in biotech etc.

Some time ago I asked a question at biology stackexchenge [1], and it seems it hadn't received a comprehensive answer.

Additional context is that there are ~10K biochemical reactions happening in ~every cell per second and for a signalling molecule to get to its target it needs to get through a rather dense intercellular milieu.
