These complexes of death ligand, death receptor, and FAAD are called the death-inducing signaling complex which in the next step activates
Caspase 8.
Caspases are activated in a branched protease cascade and control distinct downstream processes in Fas-induced apoptosis.
Also the apoptotic hepatocytes expressing
Caspase 3 increased significantly in a proportionate fashion (p<0.

caspase inhibitor administered after the onset of ischemia," European Journal of Pharmacology, vol.
Initial interventions in this regard started with the use of a broad-spectrum
caspase inhibitor carboxyvalyl-alanyl-aspartyl-(o-methyl) that could improve survival by 40-45% in a CLP model of sepsis (43).
EBV induced DCs apoptosis which was dependent on
caspase activation.
Using two other wilting coral species, the researchers found that adding a chemical that inhibits
caspase activity could stop the corals from committing suicide.

Caspase Activity, Specificity, Activation And Inhibition", Biochem .
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) was synthesized for both the
caspase, acasp, and [beta] actin from Aiptasia pallida.
Efforts to prevent excessive lymphocyte apoptosis during severe infection have focused either on modification of the signal processing system to create an inherent bias against the triggering of cell death pathways or on inhibition of
caspase activity to block their execution.
Caspase activation was detected in the plasma using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for cytokeratin-18 fragments, which are a byproduct of
caspase activation.
