ObjectivesPre-eclampsia (PE) is characterised by renal glomerular endotheliosis and injury to the glomerular filtration barrier with proteinuria. Patients with PE display aberrant filtration of the plasma proenzyme plasminogen which is activated, in the ...

Endoproteolysis of cellular prion protein by plasmin hinders propagation of prions
Many questions surround the underlying mechanism for the differential metabolic processing observed for the prion protein (PrP) in healthy and prion-infected mammals.

Trypstatin, a 61‐amino acid Kunitz‐type protease inhibitor derived from human Bikunin, potently inhibits TMPRSS2 and related proteases. It blocks spike‐ and hemagglutinin‐mediated entry of multiple respiratory viruses in vitro reduces SARS‐CoV‐2 replication in human airway cultures, and lowers viral load and symptoms in infected hamsters, demonstrating

Exercise, cognition and Alzheimer’s disease: More is not necessarily better [PDF]
Regional hypoperfusion, associated with a reduction in cerebral metabolism, is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and contributes to cognitive decline. Cerebral perfusion and hence cognition can be enhanced by exercise.

Abstract Background In soft tissue regeneration, the clinical efficacy of fibrin membranes has been a pressing concern. The key to this efficacy lies in the stability of membrane and its controlled absorption. Human serum albumin, with its influence on the formation and stability of fibrin networks, could hold the key to developing a more stable ...

Dysregulated proteolysis mediated by kallikrein‐related peptidases (KLKs) and iron overload are involved in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Deferasirox, an clinically‐approved iron chelator, and its newly synthesized derivatives have been identified as inhibitors of major central nervous system KLKs with low cytotoxicity and effective ...

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

Mutant and chimeric recobinant plasminogen activatorsproduction in eukaryotic cellsand preliminary characterization [PDF]
Mutant urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) genes and hybrid genes between tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and u-PA have been designed to direct the synthesis of new plasminogen activators and to investigate the structure-function ...
