The association of HER2 status with urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) levels raises the question whether uPA/PAI-1 level carries additional clinically relevant prognostic information independently from ...

Differential effects of tissue plasminogen activator and streptokinase on infarct size and on rate of enzyme release: influence of early infarct related artery patency: The GUSTO Enzyme Substudy [PDF]
Background The recent international GUSTO trial of 41 021 patients with acute myocardial infarction demonstrated improved 90-mm infarct related artery patency as well as reduced mortality in patients treated with an accelerated regimen of tissue ...

The epidemiology and pathogenesis of uterine fibroids
Abstract Uterine fibroids, or leiomyomas, are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive tract, ultimately affecting a majority of women worldwide, primarily during their reproductive years. While their origin appears genetic, manifesting in monoclonal tumors, diverse features and mechanisms contribute to their growth and further ...

Neutralizing the EGF receptor in glioblastoma cells stimulates cell migration by activating uPAR-initiated cell signaling. [PDF]
In glioblastoma (GBM), the EGF receptor (EGFR) and Src family kinases (SFKs) contribute to an aggressive phenotype. EGFR may be targeted therapeutically; however, resistance to EGFR-targeting drugs such as Erlotinib and Gefitinib develops quickly.

Abstract Corticosteroids are effective anti‐cancer agents for treating hematologic malignancies in children. However, avascular necrosis (AVN) is a common and debilitating adverse effect, leading to bone death and impacting long‐term quality of life. This study aimed to uncover the genetic factors contributing to corticosteroid‐induced AVN in a well ...

A personal 360° view of applications of ‘biomimetic’ molecular recognition
Abstract Molecular recognition between biological molecules has formed the basis for innumerable applications in biotechnology for the last seven decades or so. Techniques such as affinity chromatography, solid‐phase and aqueous two‐phase extraction, affinity precipitation, biomimetic catalytic systems, biosensors and molecular imprinting all exploit ...

Feasibility of Treating Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis Using Short‐Chain Fatty Acids
Epithelial cell‐derived cytokines including thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) are important in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. We demonstrate the inhibitory effect of TSLP production in airway epithelial cells and eosinophil survival by short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as a potential new strategy to reduce nasal polyps ...
