¿Sería mejor traducir "signals" en este contexto como "respuestas"?

"But we want to investigate other properties of the tumour, such for example as the ability of the tumour to respond to oxygen treatment and by doing these different types of investigations we are really producing a new map of information, of @@different signals@@ of a particular tumour."

Distintos indicios

Explanation:
Realmente hay poco contexto. Según el diccionario de la RAE, indicio es un "fenómeno que permite conocer o inferir la existencia de otro no percibido." Me parece que este es el significado de "signals" en este contexto.

diferentes señales/características

Explanation:
Me parece perfectamente válido traducirlo tal cual, como señales (o también características). Según el texto, lo que se pretende con las investigaciones es identificar una serie de particularidades de un tumor, lo que incluye reacciones, síntomas, marcadores, etc. Por tanto considero más apropiado un término que abarque estas opciones.
