Fibrinolysis
Reports summarize fibrinolysis research from Nihon University
Published in Proteomics Weekly, August 10th, 2009
"Thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) exhibits anti-fibrinolytic activity by removing C-terminal lysine residues from fibrin or plasminogen receptor proteins on the cellular surface, and plays an important role in the regulation of fibrinolysis. In this study, we examined the regulation of TAFI in hepatocytes during liver regeneration, and revealed its pivotal role in hepatocyte proliferation," scientists in Kanagawa, Japan report.
"In rat models, partial hepatectomy or carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced acute liver injury suppressed the levels of plasma TAFI activity and hepatic TAFI mRNA, whereas this operation markedly increased both the hepatic...
