Anti Apoptotic Signaling

Meaning

The complex intracellular communication pathways and molecular cascades that actively inhibit or suppress the process of apoptosis, which is programmed cell death. This signaling is crucial for maintaining tissue homeostasis, cellular viability, and overall organismal integrity, especially in tissues undergoing normal turnover or exposed to mild stress. Dysregulation of these pathways is implicated in both longevity and pathology, such as cancer.
