Caspases: key mediators of apoptosis
Chem Biol.
1998 May.
Abstract
Recent studies have established that members of the caspase protease family are essential components of a conserved cell death program. Insights into their biological roles, structure and mechanism are enabling investigators to begin to explore the therapeutic potential of caspase inhibition.
