It explores how TQ influences key signaling pathways such as the phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, which are crucial in cancer cell survival, proliferation, and metastasis. The gene discussed is NFKB1; the disease is cancer.
