01
Overview
The interferon (IFN) signaling pathway is a critical component of the innate and adaptive immune response. It is activated by the binding of IFNs to their respective receptors, leading to the activation of the JAK-STAT signaling cascade and the subsequent transcription of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). This pathway plays a crucial role in antiviral defense, antitumor immunity, and the regulation of inflammation. Defects in the IFN pathway are frequently observed in cancer cells, leading to immune evasion and resistance to therapy. Targeting the IFN pathway or restoring its function is an area of active investigation for cancer therapeutics.
