Components of the plasminogen activation system promote engraftment of porous polyethylene biomaterial via common and distinct effects.

Components of the plasminogen activation system promote engraftment of porous polyethylene biomaterial via common and distinct effects.

Rapid fibrovascularization is a prerequisite for successful biomaterial engraftment. In addition to their well-known roles in fibrinolysis, urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) or their inhibitor plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) have recently bee...
