Biological Pathways

Biological pathways are like complex roadmaps inside our bodies that guide how cells carry out essential functions. They involve a series of steps where molecules, such as proteins and chemicals, interact and activate each other to produce specific outcomes—like producing energy, repairing cells, or fighting infections. These pathways ensure that processes happen in the right order and at the right time, maintaining our health. Understanding these pathways helps scientists develop treatments for diseases by targeting specific steps or components.
