Plasminogen activators are membrane-associated, arginine-specific serine proteases which convert the inactive plasma zymogen plasminogen to plasmin, an active, broad-spectrum serine protease. Plasmin, the major fibrinolytic enzyme in blood, also participates in a number of physiologic functions invo

## Abstract Although originally known as a plasma serine protease involved in clot dissolution, tPA and its primary inhibitor, PAIโ1, play crucial roles in synaptic reorganization and plasticity in the central nervous system. In contrast to the wide array of work conducted in neural cells, relative
Surveillance colonoscopy and biopsy are inaccurate methods of predicting the likelihood of ulcerative colitis patients to develop colon carcinoma. We examined uPA and PAI-1 as potential markers for assessing these patients and those with familial polyposis who are at risk of developing colon cancer.
