Plasmin, one of the most potent and reactive serine proteases, is involved in various
physiological processes, including embryo development, thrombolysis, wound healing and …

Laminins, heterotrimers composed of α, β, and γ chains, are multifunctional glycoproteins
present in basement membranes. Laminins, the most important component of basement …

Junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) is a group of heritable blistering diseases in which
tissue separation occurs within the lamina lucida of the cutaneous basement membrane …

For many years, extracellular matrix (ECM) was considered to function as a tissue support
and filler. However, we now know that ECM proteins control many cellular events through …

The basement membrane glycoprotein laminin-5 is a key component of the anchoring
complex connecting keratinocytes to the underlying dermis. It is secreted by keratinocytes as …

AG73 (RKRLQVQLSIRT), a peptide from the G domain of the laminin α1 chain, has diverse
biological activities with different cell types. The heparan sulfate side chains of syndecan-1 …

Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is a serine protease that catalyzes the conversion of
plasminogen (plg) to plasmin, which in turn functions to degrade extracellular matrix proteins …

We have compiled a comprehensive list of the articles published in the year 2000 that
describe work employing commercial optical biosensors. Selected reviews of interest for the …

Purpose: To determine whether intravitreal administration of microplasmin (μPlm) will
degrade fibronectin (FN) and laminin (LN) in rat retina during μPlm-induced posterior …

Aim: The aim of the study was to address whether a stiff substrate, a model for pulmonary
fibrosis, is responsible for inducing changes in the phenotype of alveolar epithelial cells …
