Harnessing apoptosis, a natural cell death process to eliminate damaged cells, has long been a key strategy in cancer research. Recently, Dale Mierke and his collaborators have identified a small molecule that binds to caspase 8 and enhances its activation in response to TRAIL, a central step in apoptosis. Their findings written in, “A novel caspase 8 selective small molecule potentiates TRAIL-induced cell death,” were published recently in Scientific Reports
