Forestalling fibrosis

Article Abstract:

Blocking the activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) may help prevent some types of kidney disease. PAI-1 prevents the formation of plasmin and other proteins that can contribute to kidney disease. One research group made a mutant form of PAI-1 that can block the activity of PAI-1. However, this did not completely prevent kidney disease.
