Autoimmune responses are controlled by complex regulatory circuits. Previous work has revealed that factors controlling autoimmunity can act both as potentiating and inhibitory agents, depending upon the site and timing of exposure. Recent advances in this complex field have at least partially uncov

Matrix metalloproteinases belong to a family of zinc-dependent enzymes capable of degrading extracellular matrix and basement membrane components. Their expression is greatly modulated by cytokines and growth factors and involves the gene products of the Fos and Jun families of oncogenes. After extr
Studies extending over a decade have provided compelling evidence to suggest that chronic expression of proinflammatory cytokines in vivo leads to unique regulatory properties that target the cognate immune response in a way that appears to be beneficial to the host. This review focuses on the proto
