Signal transduction pathways govern how cells communicate with their environment and respond to external stimuli, a process essential for maintaining homeostasis. This book examines key pathways like GPCR signaling, MAP kinase cascades, and calcium signaling, highlighting their roles in cellular responses. It explains how dysregulation of these pathways contributes to diseases like diabetes, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. The text integrates molecular mechanisms with clinical implications, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of cellular communication.
