Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis is a type of programmed cell death that eliminates damaged cells and controls the development and tissue homeostasis of multicellular organisms. Caspases, a family of cysteine proteases, play a key role in apoptosis initiation and execution. The maturation of caspases and their activity is fine-tuned by post-translational modifications in a highly dynamic fashion. To assess the effect of...
