Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of Zn(2+)-dependent extracellular matrix (ECM) degrading endopeptidases that share common functional domains, activation mechanisms, and collectively have the capacity to degrade all types of ECM proteins. In addition to playing a central role in ECM tur
## Background: The epidemiology of peptic ulcer and inflammatory bowel disease shows many similar patterns. The aim of the present study was to compare the geographic distribution of mortality from peptic ulcer with that from inflammatory bowel disease. Methods: Mortality data from 27 countries be
