This podcast episode explores integrin signaling cascades, focusing on the key kinases FAK and Src. The discussion breaks down how these molecular components work together to control cell movement, proliferation, and survival. The episode uses clear analogies and explanations to describe complex cellular processes, from how integrins act as cellular "feelers" to how FAK and Src regulate cell behavior. It also covers research techniques used to study these pathways and their implications for diseases like cancer.
