Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how HeLa cells respond to UV-induced damage, revealing that over 90% of cells stay viable up to 6 hours post-irradiation but significantly decline in viability after 12-72 hours.
- The research highlights that the activation of various caspases (key proteins in the cell death process) occurs in a specific sequence after UV exposure, with some being active as early as 1 hour after irradiation.
- Despite the activation of these caspases, the study finds that inhibiting them does not prevent cell death, suggesting that other mechanisms may also play a crucial role in the cell death process post-UV damage.
