What are the Cellular Components Involved in Thrombolysis?
The process of thrombolysis involves several cellular components. Platelets play a key role as they aggregate to form the initial structure of the clot. The endothelial cells are crucial for regulating thrombolysis by releasing tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), which initiates the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. Histological studies show that the interaction between these cells and thrombolytic agents can lead to changes in cellular morphology and function.
