Extracellular tyrosyl‐tRNA synthetase cleaved by plasma proteinases and stored in platelet α‐granules: Potential role in monocyte activation

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2020
Background Tyrosyl‐tRNA synthetase (YRS) belongs to the family of enzymes that catalyzes the tRNA aminoacylation reaction for protein synthesis, and it has been recently shown to exert noncanonical functions.

TGFβ (transforming growth factor-β) blockade induces a human-like disease in a nondissecting mouse model of abdominal aortic aneurysm [PDF]

, 2017
Objective-Current experimental models of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) do not accurately reproduce the major features of human AAA. We hypothesized that blockade of TGF beta (transforming growth factor-beta) activity-a guardian of vascular integrity ...
