Mechanistic Pathways

Mechanistic pathways describe the step-by-step processes through which a biological or chemical event occurs. Think of them as detailed maps showing how molecules, cells, or systems work together to produce a specific outcome, like how a drug affects the body or how a disease develops. Understanding these pathways helps scientists see how things happen at a detailed level, which can inform treatment or intervention strategies. Essentially, they reveal the "how" and "why" behind complex biological actions in a clear, organized way.
