Molecular Cancer Biology

Molecular cancer biology explores the cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive cancer, focusing on how genetic mutations, signaling pathways, and interactions within the tumor microenvironment contribute to cancer growth and spread. It examines the role of oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, and regulatory pathways, such as those involving cell cycle control and apoptosis, in tumor initiation and progression. By understanding these molecular processes, researchers aim to develop targeted therapies that disrupt cancer-specific pathways, leading to more effective and personalized cancer treatments.
