Cell growth is a highly regulated process essential for normal development, tissue repair, and homeostasis within multicellular organisms. In healthy tissues, cell proliferation is balanced with cell death, ensuring that tissues and organs maintain their proper size and function. This balance is controlled by a complex network of signaling pathways, growth factors, and regulatory proteins. However, when this regulation is disrupted, it can lead to the uncontrolled proliferation of cells, a hallmark of cancer. Cancer arises when cells begin to grow and divide uncontrollably, forming tumors and eventually invading other parts of the body. The transformation from normal cell growth to uncontrolled proliferation is a multistep process that involves genetic mutations, epigenetic alterations, and aberrant signaling pathways. Understanding the link between cell growth and cancer is crucial for developing new therapeutic strategies to treat this devastating disease.
