Characterisation of mice lacking the inflammatory caspases-1/11/12 reveals no contribution of caspase-12 to cell death and sepsis.

Abstract excerpt

Caspases exert critical functions in diverse cell death pathways, including apoptosis and pyroptosis, but some caspases also have roles in the processing of cytokines into their functional forms during inflammation. The roles of many caspases have been unravelled by the generation of knockout mice, but still very little is known about the overlapping functions of caspases as only a few studies report on double or...
