It is in dispute whether caspase 3 contributes to status epilepticus (SE)-induced cell loss. We hypothesized that caspase 3-mediated cell death continues beyond the acute phase of SE. We induced SE with either kainic acid or electrical stimulation of the

In epidermal cells desmosomes represent major sites of basolateral cell-cell contacts that play an important role for epidermal homeostasis. Excess or damaged cells are often removed by apoptosis. To release apoptotic cells from the tissue, intercellular contacts have to be
