The FOXO signaling pathway

The FOXO signaling pathway is a biological process involved in controlling cell functions like growth, survival, and stress response. When cells experience stress or low nutrients, FOXO proteins become active and move to the cell nucleus to turn on genes that help repair damage, manage energy, and prevent cell death. This pathway also influences aging and the ability of cells to resist diseases like cancer. Overall, the FOXO pathway acts as a safeguard, helping cells adapt to changing conditions and maintain health.
