During progression towards malignancy, many tumor cells display changes in their repertoire of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs). The recent finding that many members of the MMPs are regulated by protooncogenes may explain the frequent observ
SPARC (secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine), also called osteonectin or BM-40, is a collagen-binding glycoprotein secreted by a variety of cells and is associated with functional responses involving tissue remodeling, cell movement and proliferation. Because SPARC and monocytes/macrophages
## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play critical roles in egg fertilization, embryonic development, wound repair, cancer, and inflammatory and neurologic diseases. This subfamily of metzincin peptidases can cleave extracellular matrix (ECM) and pericellular proteins that have profound eff
