Urokinase gene 3'-UTR T/C polymorphism is not associated with bladder cancer
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2004 Urokinase degrades basement proteins and is hypothesized to play a role in cancer progression. We investigated the hypothesis of C/T polymorphism in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the urokinase gene being associated with the development of ...

Effects of natto extract on endothelial injury in a rat model [PDF]
, 2010 Vascular endothelial damage has been found to be associated with thrombus formation, which is considered to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. A diet of natto leads to a low prevalence of cardiovascular disease. The aim of the present study was

Distinct ligand binding sites in integrin alpha3beta1 regulate matrix adhesion and cell-cell contact. [PDF]
, 2003 The integrin alpha3beta1 mediates cellular adhesion to the matrix ligand laminin-5. A second integrin ligand, the urokinase receptor (uPAR), associates with alpha3beta1 via a surface loop within the alpha3 beta-propeller (residues 242-246) but outside ...

Fibrinolysis protease receptors promote activation of astrocytes to express pro-inflammatory cytokines. [PDF]
, 2019 BACKGROUND:Astrocytes contribute to the crosstalk that generates chronic neuro-inflammation in neurological diseases; however, compared with microglia, astrocytes respond to a more limited continuum of innate immune system stimulants.
