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.

Histone deacetylase inhibitor treatment increases coronary t-PA release in a porcine ischemia model. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The expression of the tissue plasminogen activator gene can be affected by histone deacetylation inhibition and thus appears to be under epigenetic control.

A novel serine protease secreted by medicinal maggots enhances plasminogen activator-induced fibrinolysis. [PDF]
Maggots of the blowfly Lucilia sericata are used for the treatment of chronic wounds. As haemostatic processes play an important role in wound healing, this study focused on the effects of maggot secretions on coagulation and fibrinolysis.
