13 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
Pan-caspase inhibition reduces tubular apoptosis and proliferation and slows progression of disease in a rat model of polycystic kidney disease (PKD). It is unknown, however, which specific caspases are involved in PKD progression. Because caspase-3 is a major mediator of apoptosis, its role in
