abstract：:Vessel wall inflammation and matrix destruction are critical to abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation and rupture. We have previously shown that urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) is highly expressed in experimental AAA and is essential for AAA formation and expansion. In this study, we examined the effects of ...
