Calpain Protease Function and Regulation
Description: This cluster of papers explores the role of calpain, a calcium-dependent protease, in regulating various cellular processes such as cell migration, neurodegeneration, apoptosis, and its involvement in diseases including diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular remodeling. The papers also discuss the structure, activation, and inhibition of calpain as a potential therapeutic target.
