摘要: How does the coagulation protease thrombin regulate cellular behaviour? The protease-activated receptors (PARs) provide one answer. In concert with cascade, these an elegant mechanism linking mechanical information in form of tissue injury or vascular leakage to responses. Roles for PARs are beginning emerge haemostasis and thrombosis, inflammation, perhaps even blood vessel development.
