Signaling Pathway Analysis for Cancer Research

Analyzing the aberrant signaling events in cancer cells provides valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms and identifies key molecular targets for intervention. Alfa Cytology is a leading preclinical contract research organization (CRO) specializing in cell signaling pathway analysis for cancer research.

Introduction to Signaling Pathways in Cancer

Cancer is a complex disease driven by genetic and epigenetic alterations that disrupt the delicate balance of cellular processes. Signaling pathways, consisting of a series of interconnected signaling molecules, are responsible for transmitting external and internal signals to regulate cell behavior. Cell signaling pathways regulate various cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis. These pathways can become dysregulated, leading to uncontrolled cell growth, evasion of cell death, and metastasis.

Key Signaling Pathways	Description
MAPK Pathway	This pathway plays a vital role in transmitting extracellular signals to the nucleus, regulating gene expression, and controlling various cellular responses.
PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway	This pathway regulates cell survival, growth, and metabolism. Dysregulation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is frequently observed in cancer cells and contributes to tumor progression and therapy resistance.
Wnt/β-catenin Pathway	Aberrant activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway can result in uncontrolled cell proliferation, tumor growth, metastasis, and stem cell self-renewal.
