Enzyme
Apoptotic caspases
Proteins involved in executing apoptosis whose sustained sublethal activity can suppress an alternative inflammatory death response
Hypotheses on this target 1
Inhibition1
Activation
Lower level
Higher level
Replacement
Protection from degradation
Cofactor removal
Synthesis suppression
Function preservation
Inhibition1
Persistent cell-death activity may protect abnormal cells from immune attack
Where this hypothesis actsRecognized abnormal cells surviving repeated lymphocyte attacks in tissue from panel-recovered older adults
What is proposedSuppress apoptotic caspases after sustained sublethal activity is established
With whatNot stated in the record
HowUse inducible perturbations restricted to target cells after the condition is established, keeping lymphocyte exposure unchanged
Possible resultExpected increase in irreversible abnormal-cell death and possible restoration of tissue surveillance
