    GlossarySignal Transduction Inhibitor

    blocks cell communication pathways to prevent abnormal growth

    A Signal Transduction Inhibitor (STI) is a type of drug that blocks the communication pathways within cells, which are responsible for transmitting signals from the cell surface to the interior. These inhibitors can interfere with the processes that lead to cell growth, division, and survival, making them useful in treating conditions like cancer, where cell signaling pathways are often overactive.
