Protease-activated receptor 1 mediates thrombin-dependent, cell-mediated renal inflammation in crescentic glomerulonephritis. [PDF]
Protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1 is a cellular receptor for thrombin that is activated after proteolytic cleavage. The contribution of PAR-1 to inflammatory cell-mediated renal injury was assessed in murine crescentic glomerulonephritis (GN).

Platelet Biochemistry and Morphology after Cryopreservation [PDF]
Platelet cryopreservation has been investigated for several decades as an alternative to room temperature storage of platelet concentrates. The use of dimethylsulfoxide as a cryoprotectant has improved platelet storage and cryopreserved concentrates can ...

Small GTP-binding protein Rho-mediated signaling promotes proliferation of rheumatoid synovial fibroblasts [PDF]
Rho is a major small GTP-binding protein that is involved in the regulation of various cell functions, including proliferation and cell migration, through activation of multiple signaling molecules in various types of cells.

Regulation and Dysregulation of Thrombin Activity
Thrombin is the enzyme of the haemostasis system that stands at the crossroads between the coagulation cascade and coagulation inhibition by protein C, between plasma coagulation factors and cells involved in haemostasis and between haemostasis and the ...

Background Thrombin generation has been shown to reflect coagulation potential and factor VIII (FVIII) levels in patients with hemophilia A. We hypothesize that thrombin generation in the presence of thrombomodulin reflects plasma FVIII levels better ...

Thrombin Generation and Cancer: Contributors and Consequences
The high occurrence of cancer-associated thrombosis is associated with elevated thrombin generation. Tumour cells increase the potential for thrombin generation both directly, through the expression and release of procoagulant factors, and indirectly ...

Thrombin Protease-activated Receptor-1 Signals through Gq- and G13-initiated MAPK Cascades Regulating c-Jun Expression to Induce Cell Transformation [PDF]
Although the ability of G protein-coupled receptors to stimulate normal and aberrant cell growth has been intensely investigated, the precise nature of the molecular mechanisms underlying their transforming potential are still not fully understood.

Inhibition of thrombin, an unexplored function of retinoic acid
Retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin A, is known to possess in vivo anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet and fibrinolytic activities. We have investigated the in vitro thrombin and platelet aggregation inhibitory activities of vitamin A (retinol) and its ...
