Inactivation of urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) gene induces dermal and pulmonary fibrosis and peripheral microvasculopathy in mice: a new model of experimental scleroderma?

A rapidly declining proportion of new graduates from Monash University Medical School, particularly female graduates, are choosing general practice as a career. This will exacerbate future shortages in the general practice workforce.
