Semi-precontinuous functions and properties of generalized semi-preclosed sets in topological spaces by G. B. Navalagi

“…Since then many authors including Andrijević have studied this class of sets by defining their neighborhoods, separation axioms and functions. The purpose of this paper is to provide the new characterizations of semi-preopen and semi-preclosed sets by defining the concepts of semi-precontinuous mappings, semi-preopen mappings, semi-preclosed mappings, semi-preirresolute mappings, pre-semipreopen mappings, and pre-semi-preclosed mappings and study their characterizations in topological spaces. …”

Caspases: structural and molecular mechanisms and functions in cell death, innate immunity, and disease by Eswar Kumar Nadendla, Rebecca E. Tweedell, Gary Kasof, Thirumala-Devi Kanneganti

“…However, extensive data from the past decades have shown that apoptotic caspases can also drive lytic inflammatory cell death downstream of innate immune sensing and inflammatory responses, such as in the case of caspase-3, -6, -7, and -8. Therefore, more inclusive classification systems based on function, substrate specificity, or the presence of pro-domains have been proposed to better reflect the multifaceted roles of caspases. …”
