What Are Some Diseases Linked to Cellular Pathway Dysfunctions?
Dysfunctions in cellular pathways can lead to a variety of diseases. For example, disruptions in the PI3K/AKT pathway are often linked to cancer, as this pathway is crucial for cell growth and survival. Abnormalities in the Wnt pathway can lead to developmental disorders and cancer. Additionally, improper regulation of apoptosis pathways can result in either excessive cell death, contributing to degenerative diseases, or insufficient cell death, leading to cancer.
