Molecular imaging of the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor: opportunities beyond cancer
EJNMMI Research, 2020 The urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) plays a multifaceted role in almost any process where migration of cells and tissue-remodeling is involved such as inflammation, but also in diseases as arthritis and cancer. Normally, uPAR is absent in
