Are There Therapeutic Interventions Targeting Apoptosis?
Yes, there are therapeutic interventions aimed at modulating apoptosis. Antioxidants can reduce oxidative stress and prevent apoptosis induced by ROS. Inhibitors of caspases can be used to prevent excessive apoptosis in conditions like stroke or myocardial infarction. Conversely, pro-apoptotic agents are being explored as treatments for cancer, where the goal is to induce apoptosis in cancerous cells.
