Abstract excerpt
Synthesis of the major negative physiologic regulator of plasmin activation [plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1)] is elevated during progressive cellular senescence, in premature aging disorders (e.g., Werner's syndrome), and in conditions associated with tissue fibrosis and excessive fibrin accumulation (e.g., sclerosis, keloid formation). Dermal fibroblasts derived from Werner's patients as well as...
