Journal ArticleDOI

The central executioners of apoptosis: caspases or mitochondria?

TL;DR: It is argued that caspases might have a dual function in the apoptotic process: first, as signal-transduction molecules that act as facultative inducers of mitochondrial membrane changes, and, second, as processing enzymes that orchestrate the apoptosis phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer cell–autonomous contribution of type I interferon signaling to the efficacy of chemotherapy

TL;DR: The data suggest that anthracycline-mediated immune responses mimic those induced by viral pathogens, and it is surmised that such 'viral mimicry' constitutes a hallmark of successful chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrio-nuclear translocation of AIF in apoptosis and necrosis

TL;DR: Data are compatible with the hypothesis that AIF is a caspase‐independent mitochondrial death effector responsible for partial chromatinolysis, and in conditions of ATP depletion, AIF translocation correlates with the appearance of large‐scale DNA fragmentation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two distinct pathways leading to nuclear apoptosis.

TL;DR: Two redundant parallel pathways may lead to chromatin processing during apoptosis, including one which involves Apaf-1 and caspases, as well as CAD, and leads to oligonucleosomal DNA fragmentation and advanced chromatin condensation and the other which is caspase-independent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Caspase-independent cell death.

TL;DR: The contribution of caspases to cell death, either as upstream signals or as downstream effectors contributing to apoptotic morphology, is explored, as well as alternative strategies for cell death inhibition.
