Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A variety of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) have been associated with deregulated caspase activation that leads to neuronal death. Caspases appear to be involved in the molecular pathology of NDs by directly cleaving important proteins. For instance, several proteins involved in Alzheimer's disease, including β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) and presenilins, are known to be cleaved by caspases....
