How Do Mitochondrial Pathway Alterations Contribute to Disease?
Alterations in the mitochondrial pathway can lead to various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. In cancer, for instance, the evasion of apoptosis is a hallmark, and alterations in the mitochondrial pathway can contribute to tumor cell survival. Understanding these alterations is crucial for developing targeted therapies in toxicology and disease management.
