Publication news! Plasmin-mediated Cleavage of High Molecular Weight Kininogen Contributes to Acetaminophen-Induced Acute Liver Failure
Michael Henderson, PhD, Key lab of the Blood Research Center has first author publication: Abstract Acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury is associated with activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis. In mice, both tissue factor-dependent thrombin generation and plasmin activity have been shown to promote liver injury after APAP overdose. However, the contribution of the contact and intrinsic …
