Heterogeneous responses to low level death receptor activation are explained by random molecular assembly of the Caspase-8 activation platform.
Ligand binding to death receptors activates apoptosis in cancer cells. Stimulation of death receptors results in the formation of intracellular multiprotein platforms that either activate the apoptotic initiator Caspase-8 to trigger cell death, or signal through kinases to initiate inflammatory and...
