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.

## Abstract AmyloidβΞ² (AΞ²) appears central to Alzheimer's disease (AD), aggregates spontaneously, and is neurotoxic to neurons in vitro. Recently, several groups reported a familial AD locus on chromosome 10. Here, we note that urokinaseβtype plasminogen activator (uPA) is located within this locus
## Background and objectives: Urokinase type plasminogen activator (upa) regulates a variety of processes involved in tissue morphogenesis, cell differentiation, migration and invasion. we analyzed the available informations to better interpret the pathogenetic relationship between upa activity and
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) increases in the plasma of patients with prostate cancer, and has therefore been used as a reliable tumor marker. It has been demonstrated that prostate cancer cells over-express urokinase-type plasminogen activator @PA), which plays an important role in tumor invasio
The urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) system consists of the serine proteinases plasmin and u-PA; the serpin inhibitors a 2 -anti-plasmin, PAI-1 and PAI-2; and the u-PA receptor (u-PAR). Two lines of evidence have strongly suggested an important and apparently causal role for the u-PA syst
