• Role of Bcl-2 family proteins and caspases in the regulation of apoptosis (2011, background): “The activated caspase-8 then cleaves procaspase-3, giving activated caspase-3, which acts as an executioner, by cleaving multiple of other substrate within the cells [34, 106].”
• Autophagy and apoptosis dysfunction in neurodegenerative disorders. (2014, positive): “Proteolytic enzymes with specificity toward aspartate, and with cysteine in their active center, called caspases, are well conserved from early nematodes to the modern vertebrates and are the main propagators of apoptotic program at the cellular level (Ghavami et al., 2009b; Stroh et al., 2002).”
