摘要
Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases that play important roles in regulating apoptosis. A decade of research has generated a wealth of information on the signal transduction pathways mediated by caspases, the distinct functions of individual caspases and the mechanisms by which caspases mediate apoptosis and a variety of physiological and pathological processes.
