| 41. | PLAT is secreted by vascular endothelial cells and acts as a serine protease that converts plasminogen to plasmin.
|
| 42. | Activase is a genetically engineered version of the naturally occurring hormone tissue plasminogen activator, or t-PA.
|
| 43. | Angiostatin is a part of a larger protein called plasminogen, which plays a vital role in blood clotting.
|
| 44. | The pair plan to mix a drug called a tissue plasminogen activator into the saline solution within the probe.
|
| 45. | These are proteins that mainly originate as specific fragments of pre-existing structural proteins like collagen or plasminogen.
|
| 46. | To migrate, endothelial cells need collagenases and plasminogen activator to degrade the clot and part of the ECM.
|
| 47. | It stimulates various processes including mitogenesis, synthesis of extracellular matrix, glucose metabolism and synthesis of plasminogen activator.
|
| 48. | Currently available thrombolytic agents include streptokinase, urokinase, and alteplase ( recombinant tissue plasminogen activator, rtPA ).
|
| 49. | Davidson, a Notre Dame-educated specialist on plasminogen and Kringles, began researching tumors for Abbott in 1991.
|
| 50. | TPA, short for tissue plasminogen activator, is a genetically engineered version of a natural clot-dissolving protein.
