metaplasia Metaplasia. Definition: Metaplasia is the reversible replacement of one differentiated cell type with another differentiated cell type. Metaplasia causes precursor cells to change their cell fate, and do not change existing differentiated cells.he most common epithelial metaplasia is columnar to squamous (squamous metaplasia), as occurs in the respiratory tract in response to chronic irritation.

Thrombolytic (Fibrinolytic) Drugs Tissue plasminogen activator produces clot lysis through the following sequence: 1  tPA binds to fibrin on the surface of the clot. 2  Activates fibrin-bound plasminogen. 3  Plasmin is cleaved from the plasminogen associated with the fibrin.  Fibrin molecules are broken apart by the plasmin and the clot dissolves.
