How does Akt promote cell survival?
Could you please explain in detail how Akt, this critical protein in cell biology, contributes to cell survival? I'm particularly interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms involved. Could you outline the signaling pathways Akt activates and how these pathways lead to increased cell survival? Additionally, could you discuss any potential interactions Akt has with other proteins or molecules that may also play a role in promoting cell survival? I'm eager to gain a deeper understanding of this fascinating topic.
