Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 6. Mechanism of Cisplatin Resistance Mediated by ABCC6 Transporters. This illustration highlights a crucial mechanism in chemotherapy resistance, emphasizing the role of ABCC6 transporters in reducing the intracellular concentration of cisplatin, thereby enhancing cell survival and resistance.

Article Title: Micrometer‐scale tPA beads amplify plasmin generation for enhanced thrombolytic therapy

doi: 10.1002/btm2.70012

Figure Lengend Snippet: Plasmin generation of tPA beads. Plasmin generation was measured using chromogenic substrate S‐2251, glu‐plasminogen, and 2.25 mU/mL tPA activity with (a) free tPA, (b) 0.1 μm t‐PA beads, or (c) 1 μm tPA beads and its co‐factors fibrinogen or fibrin degradation product (FDP) at 37°C. Each line and shaded region represent the average and standard deviation of n = 3. (d) Slope of the reaction curves at 50% of the maximum absorbance for each condition. Bars and error bars represent the average and standard deviation of n = 3. * p < 0.001 represents the significant difference between matching tPA conditions for a given co‐factor (comparison of grouped blue, orange, and green bars). Δ p < 0.001 represents the significant difference between co‐factors for a given tPA condition (comparison of like colored bars).
