insulin signaling in cancer
Insulin signaling in cancer refers to the complex biological process that involves the interaction between insulin and its receptor in cancer cells, leading to the activation of various signaling pathways. This signaling system plays a critical role in promoting the growth, survival, and metastasis of cancer cells, and is often dysregulated in cancer, leading to aberrant cellular behavior and increased tumor progression.
