Expression of Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator and Its Receptor in Keloids [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, 2003
The urokinase-mediated plasminogen activation (uPA) system plays a central role in a number of cellular processes including tissue remodeling, cell migration, and angiogenesis. Elevated uPA activity has also been seen with tumor invasion and metastasis in a variety of malignancies.

Role of specific membrane receptors in urokinase dependent migration of human keratinocytes

open access: yes, 1990
On the basis of both 125I-labeled plasminogen activator binding analysis and transmission electron microscopy studies of the interaction of a plasminogen activator/gold complex with cell membranes, we have found that human keratinocytes have specific ...

WONOEP XVII appraisal: The role of the extracellular matrix in epilepsy

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract The extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of proteoglycans and glycoproteins that regulate the external environment surrounding neurons, glia, and the vascular system. The ECM is vital for maintaining the structure and function of the brain and also acts as a reservoir for various signaling molecules and neurotransmitters, modulating synaptic

Basic and Clinical Aspects of Non-neuronal Acetylcholine: Biological and Clinical Significance of Non-canonical Ligands of Epithelial Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
Mucocutaneous keratinocytes and bronchial epithelial cells express nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). Emerging evidence indicates that nAChRs can be stimulated also by the tobacco-derived nitrosamines 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3–pyridyl)-1 ...

A randomized trial of an early measles vaccine at 4½ months of age in Guinea-Bissau: sex-differential immunological effects. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
After measles vaccine (MV), all-cause mortality is reduced more than can be explained by the prevention of measles, especially in females.We aimed to study the biological mechanisms underlying the observed non-specific and sex-differential effects of MV ...

The Diagnostic Value of Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor in Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Disease in Emergency Department

open access: yesDüzce Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi, 2021
Aim: The urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) system consists of a protease, a receptor (urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor, uPAR), and inhibitors that can be expressed on various cell types.

A Narrative Review on Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 and Its (Patho)Physiological Role: To Target or Not to Target?

open access: yes, 2021
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is the main physiological inhibitor of plasminogen activators (PAs) and is therefore an important inhibitor of the plasminogen/plasmin system.

The urokinase‐type‐plasminogen‐activator receptor (CD87) is a pleiotropic molecule [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1998
Since its discovery over a decade ago, evidence has accumulated implicating the cell‐surface urokinase receptor (u‐PAR), in numerous biological processes. Most notable has been the identification of a critical role for u‐PAR in the regulation of cell‐surface plasminogen activation in physiological and pathological conditions.

Exercise, cognition and Alzheimer’s disease: More is not necessarily better [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Regional hypoperfusion, associated with a reduction in cerebral metabolism, is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and contributes to cognitive decline. Cerebral perfusion and hence cognition can be enhanced by exercise.
