Akt1 and dCIZ1 promote cell survival from apoptotic caspase activation during regeneration and oncogenic overgrowth

Although executioner caspase activation is considered terminal, some cells are capable of survival, suggesting additional regulation. Here, the authors show that cells in the Drosophila wing imaginal disc survive caspase activation via Akt1 and dCIZ1 and actively participate in tissue regeneration.
