What Is the Importance of Signal Transduction Pathways in Therapeutic Interventions?
Signal transduction pathways are critical for transmitting information from the cell surface to the interior, influencing cellular responses. Disruptions in these pathways can lead to diseases like cancer. Therapeutic interventions often target these pathways to restore normal function. For example, tyrosine kinase inhibitors are used to block aberrant signaling in cancer cells, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation and survival.
