How does Akt regulate the cell cycle?
Could you kindly elaborate on the mechanism by which Akt regulates the cell cycle? I'm particularly interested in understanding how Akt influences the various stages of the cycle, including how it might activate or deactivate certain proteins that are critical for cell growth and division. Additionally, I'd appreciate it if you could provide insights into how Akt's regulation might be altered in pathological conditions, such as cancer, and how this might contribute to abnormal cell proliferation. Thank you for your time and expertise in addressing this question.
