Urokinase-Type Plasminogen Activator Induces BV-2 Microglial Cell Migration Through Activation of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9
In response to brain injury, microglia migrate and accumulate in the affected sites, which is an important step in the regulation of inflammation and neuronal degeneration/regeneration. In this study, we inves...
