Signal Transduction: Health, Disease, Therapy

Abstract

Author(s): Dr. R. Patel*

Signal transduction pathways are pivotal in diverse biological processes, from cellular regulation and immune responses to maintaining organ function and environmental adaptation. Dysregulation of these pathways contributes significantly to pathologies such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neuropsychiatric disorders, and inflammatory conditions. Key examples include G Protein-Coupled Receptors, macrophage signaling, and the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. Understanding these intricate mechanisms is crucial for developing targeted therapeutic strategies across various diseases, enhancing crop resilience, and advancing our knowledge of health and disease states in multiple organisms
