Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is involved in extracellular matrix remodeling. It is secreted as a proenzyme and activated by membrane type-MMPs (MT-MMP), such as MT1-MMP. In liver fibrosis, MMP-2 is highly expressed in myofibroblasts and may have a profibrogenic role. The mechanisms of its acti

## Abstract Radiographic mammary microcalcifications are one of the most pertinent diagnostic markers of breast cancer. Breast tissue calcification in the form of calcium hydroxyapatite (HA) is strongly associated with malignant disease. We tested the hypothesis that calcium HA may exert biological
The nuclear matrix, besides providing the structural support of the nucleus, is involved in various cellular functions of the nucleus. Nuclear matrix proteins (NMPs), which are both tissue-and cell type-specific, are altered with transformation and state of differentiation. Furthermore, NMPs have be
