What Role Do Dysfunctional Signaling Pathways Play in Cancer?
Dysfunctional signaling pathways are crucial in the development and progression of cancer. Signaling pathways regulate cell growth, division, and death. When these pathways are disrupted, it can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and cancer. Key pathways often implicated in cancer include the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, the Ras/MAPK pathway, and the Wnt signaling pathway.
