How Do Errors in Cellular Signaling Pathways Lead to Cancer?
Cells communicate through complex signaling pathways that regulate their growth, division, and death. Errors in these pathways can disrupt normal cell function and lead to cancer. For example, mutations in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway can result in uncontrolled cell growth and survival, contributing to tumor development. Similarly, errors in the Ras signaling pathway are common in many cancers and often lead to increased cell proliferation.
