FLIPL Regulates Cell Death Pathways in Mice Without Caspase-8 Oligomerization

Quick summary

• The research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Volume 122, Issue 15 (April 2025) focuses on apoptosis, a process involving programmed cell death.
• Caspases,a group of enzymes active during apoptosis,play a dual role in cleaving proteins and regulating cellular functions.
• One specific enzyme studied is Caspase-8, which is activated upon ligation of specific receptors. It has both apoptotic and inhibitory functions within cells.
