Programmed Cell Death of Developing Mammalian Neurons after Genetic Deletion of Caspases
1 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
An analysis of programmed cell death of several populations of developing postmitotic neurons after genetic deletion of two key members of the caspase family of pro-apoptotic proteases, caspase-3 and caspase-9, indicates that normal neuronal loss occurs. Although the amount of cell death is not altered, the death process may be delayed, and the cells appear to use a nonapoptotic pathway of degeneration. The...
