4.4 Changes in Signal Transduction Pathways - Review

This review will guide you through an adaptive, research-backed study session. As you answer questions, we will actively assess your current understanding of the material. Questions will continue to be drawn until you have demonstrated mastery of each learning objective.

Reviews are graded based on completion. You will receive full credit for achieving 100% mastery or answering all questions.

Learning objectives for this review:

  • Discuss how mutations, environmental factors, and pathogens can alter signal transduction.
  • Explain how changes in signal transduction can lead to diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders.
  • Describe how cells adapt to changes in signaling through mechanisms such as desensitization, feedback loops, and cross-talk between pathways.
