The authors show that Plg-R_KT is a new regulator participating in different phases of cutaneous burn wound healing, which coordinately plays a role in the interrelated responses of inflammation, keratinocyte migration, and fibrinolysis.

The plasminogen receptor, Plg-R_KT, plays a role in inflammation and fibrinolysis during cutaneous wound healing in mice.
