  Heart disease is the leading cause of death globally, and keeping hemostatic balance is essential for a healthy cardiovascular system. Disturbing the balance can cause major diseases, such as ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, and SARS-CoV-2 caused systemic blood clotting. In vivo in the pathological thrombi are dissolved by the enzyme Plasmin (Plm), a serine protease derived from the proenzyme Plasminogen (Plg). Although the biological regulation of the Plg system has been intensively studied, the vast potential pharmaceutical applications of the Plm enzyme-based therapeutics are far from realized. This review focuses on the underemphasized direction of the therapeutic development of Plg, Plm, and μ Plasmin (μ Plm), the catalytic domain of Plasmin. The major diseases can be treated with Plm-based thrombolytic therapeutics includ.. Read More»
