Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both autophagy and EGF desensitization have been linked to cancer/tumor formation. Autophagy is a process by which the cell degrades and recycles components, including damaged or dysfunctional organelles. Impaired autophagy has been shown to contribute to the development of various types of cancer. EGF desensitization refers to a decrease in the cell's responsiveness to epidermal growth factor (EGF), a signaling molecule that can promote cell growth and division. Dysregulation of EGF signaling has been implicated in the development of many cancers. Caveolae uptake and NMDA receptors, on the other hand, have not been consistently linked to cancer/tumor formation.
