Cell death is essential for our well being. As insufficient cell deaths can lead to cancers, promoting cell killing is a promising new avenue for treating this disease. However, current approaches are not fully optimal because we do not completely understand how the switch for cell death is flipped on. Our project seeks to answer this important question and we anticipate that a better understanding of this basic process will enable improved treatment for diseases such as cancer.

细胞死亡对我们的健康至关重要。由于细胞死亡不足可能导致癌症，促进细胞杀伤是治疗这种疾病的一条很有前途的新途径。然而，目前的方法并不是完全最佳的，因为我们还不完全了解细胞死亡的开关是如何开启的。我们的项目试图回答这一重要问题，我们预计，对这一基本过程的更好理解将有助于改进癌症等疾病的治疗。
