CD44 is a family of cell-surface-adhesion proteins that are thought to play an important role in cancer invasion and metastasis. However, the specific mechanisms by which CD44 expression modulates invasion or metastasis are not well understood. In the current study, we have demonstrated that treatme

## Background: Activation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (mmp-2) has been implicated in the progression, invasion, and metastasis of various cancers, but little information is available with regard to its role in pancreatic carcinoma with poor prognosis. ## Methods: Gelatin zymography was used for
## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) comprise a large family of endopeptidases that are capable of degrading all extracellular matrix components. There is increasing evidence that MMPs are not only involved in tissue destruction but may also exert beneficial effects during axonal regenerati
## Abstract Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) acantholysis represents a complex phenomenon wherein a number of factors cooperates. PV serum is known to modulate important cellular events, including kinase activity, transcriptional regulation, and proteinase expression. Indeed, transduction of signals to the
