Les caspases sont une famille de cystéines protéases bien connues pour leurs rôles centraux au cours de l’apoptose et de l’inflammation. Elles interviennent aussi dans des voies de mort cellulaire régulées non-apoptotiques, et contribuent à de très ...

AbstractThe basic mechanisms that underlie neurodegenerative diseases are unknown. Loss of function of specific regions of the brain is due to incapacitation of cells that constitute those regions. Cells can simply stop functioning normally (neurons may cease to transmit signals), or they may die.

Regulation of caspase-3 processing by cIAP2 controls the switch between pro-inflammatory activation and cell death in microglia. [PDF]
The activation of microglia, resident immune cells of the central nervous system, and inflammation-mediated neurotoxicity are typical features of neurodegenerative diseases, for example, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. An unexpected role of caspase-

Necroptosis of Lung Epithelial Cells Triggered by Ricin Toxin and Bystander Inflammation
Background/Aims: The ribosome-inactivating proteins include the biothreat agent, ricin toxin (RT). When inhaled, RT causes near complete destruction of the lung epithelium coincident with a proinflammatory response that includes TNF family cytokines ...
