Evidence that heparin but not hirudin reduces PAI-1 expression in cultured human endothelial cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Heparin and other antithrombotic drugs besides their anticoagulant action could have a profibrinolytic effect. We have analyzed the effect of unfractionated heparin (UFH) and hirudin on PAI-1 gene expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells ...

Epidemiology of Leech Infestation in Livestock and Evaluation of Phytolacca dodecanda (Endod) for Aquatic Leech Control in Selected Districts of South, Central, and North Gondar Zones, Northwest Ethiopia

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The livestock industry in Ethiopia suffers greatly from parasites and parasitic diseases including leech infestation. Leech infestation is a serious disease of animals and occasionally humans, but it is usually ignored. A cross‐sectional study design was carried out from January 2022 to June 2022 to estimate the prevalence of leech infestation in ...

Effects of hirudin-induced activation of nonenzymatic fibrinolysis during immobilization stress [PDF]

open access: yes
The specific inhibitor of thrombin, hirudin, was used for studying the mechanism of the activating effect of ACTH and adrenalin on nonenzymatic fibrinolytic activity (NEFA), the latter characterizing the function of the anticoagulation system (ACS ...

Paradigm of biased PAR1 (protease-activated receptor-1) activation and inhibition in endothelial cells dissected by phosphoproteomics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Thrombin is the key serine protease of the coagulation cascade and mediates cellular responses by activation of PARs (protease-activated receptors). The predominant thrombin receptor is PAR1, and in endothelial cells (ECs), thrombin dynamically regulates

An Injectable Zwitterionic Hydrogels with Multiple Intermolecular Interactions for Effective Prevention of Abdominal Adhesions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 42, November 13, 2025.
An injectable PSA‐ZnO through multiple intermolecular including hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions for effectively prevents abdominal adhesions. The PSA‐ZnO hydrogel demonstrates superior wound healing promotion (≥ 95%) and more effective inhibition of scar formation compared to the commercial 3M dressing (≈80%), and prevents post‐operative ...

Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9 (PCSK9): The Multifaceted Biology, Diseases, and Pharmaceutical Interventions

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2025.
Summary of PCSK9 inhibitor mechanisms. PCSK9 inhibitors (PCSK9‐i) primarily lower LDL‐cholesterol (LDL‐C) by blocking PCSK9‐mediated degradation of hepatic LDL receptors (LDLR), enhancing LDL clearance. Beyond LDLR‐dependent effects, PCSK9‐i exert multiple benefits via LDLR‐independent pathways.

Properties of the thioredoxin fold superfamily are modulated by a single amino acid residue [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The ubiquitous thioredoxin fold proteins catalyze oxidation, reduction, or disulfide exchange reactions depending on their redox properties. They also play vital roles in protein folding, redox control, and disease.
