Fibrinolysis protease receptors promote activation of astrocytes to express pro-inflammatory cytokines. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Astrocytes contribute to the crosstalk that generates chronic neuro-inflammation in neurological diseases; however, compared with microglia, astrocytes respond to a more limited continuum of innate immune system stimulants.

Evaluation of coagulation activation after Rhinovirus infection in patients with asthma and healthy control subjects: an observational study [PDF]
Background Asthma exacerbations are frequently triggered by rhinovirus infections. Both asthma and respiratory tract infection can activate haemostasis. Therefore we hypothesized that experimental rhinovirus-16 infection and asthmatic airway inflammation

Reprogramming macrophages by plasmin [PDF]
Resolution of inflammation is a key physiological process regulated at different levels, and failure to achieve resolution may result in chronic inflammation. In this issue of Blood , Sugimoto et al reveal the function of the plasmin system in resolving inflammation by inducing macrophage polarization toward M2 and proresolving phenotypes.

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 ...

Studies on interactions of α2 plasmin inhibitor with plasmin
When plasmin was mixed with α2M or α2PI, plasmin was inhibited faster by α2PI than by α2M. When plasma was mixed with UK and fluorescamine-labeled casein (f-casein), hydrolysis of f-casein was observed 10min after incubation started, and increased significantly after 20min incubation.

Abstract Aims Inflammation plays a critical role in both the development and progression of heart failure (HF), which is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, the causality between specific inflammation‐related proteins and HF risk remains unclear.

HGF modulates actin cytoskeleton remodeling and contraction in testicular myoid cells [PDF]
The presence of the HGF/Met system in the testicular myoid cells was first discovered by our group. However, the physiological role of this pathway remains poorly understood. We previously reported that HGF increases uPA secretion and TGF-β activation in

Developments of Thermosensitive Hydrogel for Maxillofacial Bone Regeneration
Thermosensitive hydrogel with seed cells and growth factors presents a new method for bone regeneration, changing states with temperature and offering fluidity, injectability, and controlled drug release. This article reviews thermosensitive hydrogel's role in angiogenesis, neurogenesis, and osteogenesis in maxillofacial bone regeneration and discusses
