Mechanically Spatio‐Chimeric Fibrin Assembly Enables Vascular‐Integrated Muscle Reconstruction for Volumetric Muscle Loss Repair

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
SPARC (spatio‐chimeric, plasma‐based, anisotropic, and shear‐responsive construct) that integrates myogenic and vascular microenvironments within a single construct. The dual‐modulus matrix directs aligned myotube formation and endothelial network development, enabling a vascularized muscle implant that seamlessly anastomoses with host tissue and ...

Staphylococcus aureus proteins Sbi and Efb recruit human plasmin to degrade complement C3 and C3b

, 2012
Upon host infection, the human pathogenic microbe Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) immediately faces innate immune reactions such as the activated complement system. Here, a novel innate immune evasion strategy of S. aureus is described.

Magnetic Micro‐ and Nanorobots for Precision Thrombolysis: Design Strategies and Translational Challenges

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Micro‐ and nanorobots for targeted thrombolysis. This perspective elaborates on the clinical indication of blood clot disorders and current limitations for treatment. As a novel, alternative solution, micro‐ and nanorobots can be used to treat and break down thrombi.

Effects of Plasmin on von Willebrand Factor and Platelets: A Narrative Review

TH Open, 2018
Plasmin is the major fibrinolytic protease responsible for dissolving thrombi by cleavage of its primary substrate fibrin. In addition, emerging evidence points to other roles of plasmin: (1) as a back-up for ADAMTS13 in proteolysis of ultra-large von ...

Effect of Plasmin on Laminin and Fibronectin During Plasmin-Assisted Vitrectomy [PDF]

Archives of Ophthalmology, 2005
To determine whether plasmin will cleave the laminin and fibronectin located at the vitreoretinal junction during plasmin-assisted vitrectomy.Western blot analyses were performed with antilaminin or anti-fibronectin antibodies on the internal limiting membranes collected from patients with macular holes or cystoid macular edema who underwent vitrectomy

Integrated Single‐Cell and Spatial Analysis Reveals a Metabolic‐Immune Axis Driving Aortic Dissection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell and spatial profiling of 110 human thoracic aortic samples reveals a stromal–immune circuit driving aortic dissection. An elastin‐rich fibroblast subset is depleted with age and markedly reduced in disease, weakening aortic wall integrity.

Harnessing blood clot as a native scaffold for orchestrating tissue repairs and regeneration

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The blood clot, owing to its dynamic composition and unique microenvironment, holds significant yet underappreciated potential for tissue engineering. This review systematically summarizes the pathophysiology of clot formation, the key regulatory factors shaping its microenvironment, and its applications in both pre‐clinical and clinical settings ...

Establishing the Inhibition of the Serine Protease Plasmin as a Skin Anti-Aging Pathway

Cosmetics
Plasmin is a serine protease induced by UV-irradiation in skin that contributes to inflammation. We showed that plasmin is upregulated in photo-exposed facial skin and that this correlates with increased transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Plasmin activity

Identification of Plasminogen in MatrigelTM and Its Activation by Reconstitution of This Basement Membrane Extract

BioTechniques, 1996
MatrigelTM, a basement membrane (BM) extract of the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) sarcoma, used in tumor invasion assays, was found to contain plasminogen.
