## Abstract Caspases are cysteine proteases that play a critical role in the initiation and regulation of apoptosis. These enzymes act in a cascade to promote cell death through proteolytic cleavage of intracellular proteins. Since activation of apoptosis is implicated in human diseases such as can

Background: It is unclear whether expression of newly described mitochondrial Apo2.7 molecules (7A6 antigen) is specific for apoptosis or may also occur in necrosis. Methods: We incubated human lymphocytes with the apoptosis-inducing mistletoe lectin (ML) I and the cell membrane-permeabilizing visco
Dual specific protein kinase Dyrks are thought to play a key role in the regulation of cell growth in a variety of cellular systems. Interestingly, human Dyrk1 is mapped to the Down's syndrome (DS) critical region on chromosome 21, and thought to be a candidate gene responsible for the mental retard
