Evolutionary Mechanisms of Coagulation Factors in Cetaceans During Aquatic Adaptation

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Compared with Bos taurus, T. truncatus showed shorter prothrombin time and thrombin time but prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time, indicating pathway‐specific remodeling of coagulation. Evolutionary analyses identified 18 positively selected genes and accelerated F11 evolution, while functional assays revealed increased coagulation factor ...

Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator Receptor (uPAR) in Inflammation and Disease: A Unique Inflammatory Pathway Activator

Biomedicines
The urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is a unique protease binding receptor, now recognized as a key regulator of inflammation.

Integrin-uPAR signaling leads to FRA-1 phosphorylation and enhanced breast cancer invasion

Breast Cancer Research, 2018
Background The Fos-related antigen 1 (FRA-1) transcription factor promotes tumor cell growth, invasion and metastasis. Phosphorylation of FRA-1 increases protein stability and function.

Seminal Biomarkers and Sperm Proteomic Signatures Differentiate Acute and Chronic Male Accessory Gland Inflammation

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Male accessory gland inflammation (MAGI) comprises a heterogeneous group of inflammatory conditions that may differentially affect the seminal microenvironment and sperm function. However, whether transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)‐defined MAGI phenotypes correspond to distinct biological profiles remains insufficiently characterized ...

Urokinase and type I plasminogen activator inhibitor production by normal human hepatocytes: modulation by inflammatory agents

, 1994
We examined the effects of inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and transforming growth factor-beta) on the plasminogen activator system (urokinase, tissue-type plasminogen activator, type 1 plasminogen activator ...

Ligand Binding Regions in the Receptor for Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
The interaction between urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) and its cellular receptor (uPAR) is a key event in cell surface-associated plasminogen activation, relevant for cell migration and invasion. In order to define receptor recognition sites for uPA, we have expressed uPAR fragments as fusion products with the minor coat protein on the surface ...

Periodontitis and Diabetes: Mechanistic Evidence of a Circular Relationship

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aimed to explore the underlying mechanisms that connect periodontitis to diabetes (and vice versa) and that influence disease susceptibility, progression and response to treatment. ABSTRACT The circular relationship between periodontitis and diabetes mellitus is one of the most established oral‐systemic links.

Rhenium‐Based β‐Galactosidase Probe Allows Senescence Profiling by Mass Cytometry

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 42, 12 October 2026.
Senescence‐associated β‐galactosidase (SA‐β‐Gal) activity is a widely accepted biomarker of cellular senescence, yet its integration with other senescence markers has been limited by available detection methods. Here, we introduce ReGal, a mass cytometry‐compatible SA‐β‐Gal activity probe that can be multiplexed with established markers of senescence ...

Structural Biology and Protein Engineering of Thrombolytics

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2019
Myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke are the most frequent causes of death or disability worldwide. Due to their ability to dissolve blood clots, the thrombolytics are frequently used for their treatment. Improving the effectiveness of thrombolytics

How I Investigate Bleeding Disorders of Unknown Cause: Current Diagnostic Pathways and Gaps in Laboratory Investigation

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 1289-1297, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Bleeding disorder of unknown cause (BDUC) constitutes the largest group of patients presenting with a mild‐to‐moderate bleeding tendency in tertiary care settings. Their clinical bleeding phenotype is characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding, as well as bleeding following surgical challenges or childbirth, and is associated with impaired health‐
