article Investigators Discover Caspase 8 selective Small Molecule to Stimulate TRAIL-induced Apoptosis in Cancer Cells

May 21, 2015

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.
