Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method for regulating formation of a complex of a plasminogen activator, its receptor and one of its inhibitors. More specifically, this method involves contacting a target cell having a plasminogen activator receptor with a compound which interacts with a component of the complex such that a change in target cell cytoskeletal stiffness results.
