Abstract: Executioner caspases play important roles in apoptotic pathway and immune defense, which is considered to coordinate the execution phase of apoptosis by cleaving multiple structural and repair proteins. However, the knowledge about the activation mechanism… read more here.

Abstract: Significance Caspase is the enzyme involved in cell death, and its activation via the apoptosome is thought to represent irreversible cellular destruction. Furthermore, accumulating evidence suggests increasingly diverse functions of caspase beyond apoptosis. Here, using… read more here.
