Dronc-independent basal executioner caspase activity sustains Drosophila imaginal tissue growth [Developmental Biology]

Caspase is best known as an enzyme involved in programmed cell death, which is conserved among multicellular organisms. In addition to its role in cell death, caspase is emerging as an indispensable enzyme in a wide range of cellular functions, which have recently been termed caspase-dependent nonlethal cellular processes (CDPs)....
