Abstract: There are many similarities between nematodes and mammals in the pathways that lead to programmed cell death. There are also differences, and one of these is now highlighted -- it seems that mammals have an extra level of complexity. A protein called FLASH has been shown to modulate the activity of a killer protease (caspase), and even its existence was completely unexpected.
