What are the Implications of Anti-Apoptotic Activity?
While anti-apoptotic activity is necessary for normal cellular function and survival, its dysregulation can contribute to the development of cancer, as cells evade apoptosis and continue to proliferate. In toxicology, examining how toxins influence anti-apoptotic pathways provides insight into their potential carcinogenicity. Additionally, identifying compounds that can modulate these pathways is crucial for developing new therapeutic strategies.
