In one series of studies, researchers at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons sought to discover whether the activation of caspases could explain any of the features of AD's progression (Troy et al., 2000). They found that beta-amyloid induced one particular caspase not only to initiate the cell death pathway – to start apoptosis – but also to act as an effector of cell death, in essence becoming the "cell terminator.
