Urokinase-type plasminogen activator supports liver repair independent of its cellular receptor
Background The urokinase-type (uPA) and tissue-type (tPA) plasminogen activators regulate liver matrix remodelling through the conversion of plasminogen (Plg) to the active protease plasmin.

Doxycycline inhibits MMPs via modulation of plasminogen activators in focal cerebral ischemia
Tetracyclines inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and reduce infarction volume following cerebral ischemia. In this thesis an involvement of urokinase could be proven.

Functional Stability of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is the main inhibitor of plasminogen activators, such as tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA), and a major regulator of the fibrinolytic system.

As an essential thrombolytic agent, the tissue plasminogen activator receives increasing attention due to its longer half-life, lower immunogenicity, and easier administration, which are superior to other thrombolytic agents.

Micrometer‐scale tPA beads amplify plasmin generation for enhanced thrombolytic therapy
Rapid restoration of blood flow is critical in treating acute ischemic stroke. Current thrombolytic therapies using tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) are limited by low recanalization rates and risks of off‐target bleeding.

Collagenase is a major gene product of induced rabbit synovial fibroblasts. [PDF]
We have investigated the effects of the tumor-promoting phorbol diester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), on rabbit synovial fibroblasts, and found that this agent induced a major switch in gene expression in these cells that was marked by the

Microbiological and chemical profiles of dairy farm red smear cheese made from pasteurized and un-pasteurized milk [PDF]
A red-smear soft cheese was produced four times during a year at an organic dairy farm using pasteurized and un-pasteurized milk, respectively, from the same milking. A commercial starter culture was added.
