Abstract
Platelets are essential for hemostasis, and they cause resistance to fibrinolysis by tissue-type plasminogen activator. In contrast, platelets enhance fibrinolysis mediated by single-chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (scu-PA). This study investigated the mechanism behind this profibrinolytic role of platelets.
