Any process that activates or increases the activity of a caspase, any of a group of cysteine proteases involved in apoptosis. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of peptidase activity, the hydrolysis of peptide bonds within proteins. Any process that modulates the activity of a caspase, any of a group of cysteine proteases involved in apoptosis. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of hydrolase activity, the catalysis of the hydrolysis of various bonds. Upregulation of the activity of a caspase, any of a group of cysteine proteases involved in apoptosis. Any process that modulates the occurrence or rate of cell death by apoptosis. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of peptidase activity, the hydrolysis of peptide bonds within proteins.
