Caspase 7 plays a significant role in various diseases. In cancer, dysregulation of apoptotic pathways, including Caspase 7, can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation and tumor growth. Therapeutic strategies often aim to modulate Caspase 7 activity to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. In neurodegenerative diseases, excessive activation of Caspase 7 can contribute to neuronal cell death, highlighting its potential as a target for therapeutic interventions.
