Why is it important?

The ratio of PAI-1 and tPA is an important regulator of ECM production. The radio of 1:1 is between these two need to be maintained for normal ECM. Any increase of decrease in the ratio can promote fibrosis

Perspectives

Different ratio of PAI-1 and tPA should be correlated with different stages of Oral Submucous Fibrosis for disease insights
