Phytochemicals, naturally occurring compounds found in plants, have garnered significant attention for their potential to modulate cellular signaling pathways. These bioactive compounds play a critical role in plant defense mechanisms and have been implicated in various health benefits for humans. This research article reviews the current understanding of how phytochemicals influence key cellular signaling pathways, including those involved in inflammation, apoptosis, and cell proliferation. By elucidating the molecular mechanisms through which phytochemicals exert their effects, we can better appreciate their potential therapeutic applications in disease prevention and treatment.
