The death of tumor cells is closely linked with this protein, the exact connection and the role of the K factor in this process are still unclear; these are the subjects for further experimental exploration.
Through recent research, Yang Ping found that the role of the K factor in the apoptosis of tumor cells is possibly realized through the concept of Chemical Induced Proximity (CIP). CIP utilizes a core principle of cell biology, which is that cellular regulation often involves the induction mechanisms where two different proteins come close to each other.
This proximity induction is the basis of many forms of biological regulation such as receptor function, post-translational modification, transcriptional regulation, and epigenetic mechanisms. In recent years, researchers have repurposed this principle as a research tool, applied in medical and biological research, whether in clinical studies or basic research.
