Caspases in apoptosis and beyond

Li, J, Yuan, J·2008·Oncogene

Abstract

The demonstration of protein sequence and functional homology of the Caenorhabditis elegans programmed cell death gene product, CED-3, with human caspase-1 in 1993 triggered an explosion of research activities toward the understanding of molecular mechanisms of apoptosis. During the past 15 years, a plethora of knowledge has been obtained on the mammalian caspases, the homologs of CED-3, with regard to their distinct physiological functions, their substrates, different activation mechanisms, the signal transduction pathways that lead to their activation as well as their involvement in the pathogenesis of diseases. Such knowledge is beginning to be translated into new therapies for the treatment of human diseases.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
