TL;DR: The presence ofHCV RNA in saliva and seminal fluid of patients positive for serum HCV RNA suggests sexual and household contact as likely modes of nonparenteral transmission of type C hepatitis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that urokinase-activated plAsmin can process plasminogen to release an angiogenesis inhibitor, K1-5 (protease- activated kringles 1-5), and this findings suggest that the plasmine-mediated proteolysis may be involved in the negative switch ofAngiogenesis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that recombinant N-terminal lectinlike domain of TM (rTMD1) functions as a protective agent against sepsis caused by Gram-negative bacterial infections and can be used to defend against bacterial infection and inhibit LPS-induced inflammatory responses, suggesting that rT MD1 may be valuable in the treatment of severe inflammation in sepsi.

TL;DR: Thrombomodulin can function as a Ca2+-dependent cell-to-cell adhesion molecule and binding of specific carbohydrates to the lectin-like domain is essential for this specific function.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that NF injection alone prevents ventricular remodeling, whereas cell implantation with NFs improves cell retention and cardiac functions after MI in pigs.
