What are the Implications of Procaspase Dysregulation?
Dysregulation of procaspases can have significant implications for human health. Overactivation of procaspases can lead to excessive apoptosis, contributing to degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Conversely, insufficient activation can result in the survival of damaged cells, potentially leading to cancer development. Thus, maintaining a balance in procaspase activity is essential for preventing disease.
