## Background: Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (mmp-2), which degrades the extracellular matrix or the basement membrane, has an essential role in tumor invasion and metastasis. to evaluate the roles of mmp-2, its inhibitor (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 [timp-2]), and its activator (membrane-
## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade the extracellular matrix and are implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurological diseases. Secreted in proforms, the MMPs require activation. Tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) regulate the activity of MMPs. We investig
