Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular tumour. Once haematogenous metastasis has occurred, there is no cure for the disease and there is an obvious need for new biological prognostic markers to estimate the risk of metastasis. In this study, the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-

Malignant uveal melanoma is the commonest primary intraocular tumour in adults. It metastasizes frequently and 50% of patients die within 10 years of diagnosis. The expression of cyclin D1, p53, and MDM2 in uveal melanoma and their relationship to metastasis-free 5-year survival was determined, in o
## Abstract Although extensive evidence support the key role of adipokines in cartilage homeostasis, contradictory data have been found for their expression and their effects in chondrocytes. This study was then undertaken to determine whether a phenotypic modulation may affect the expression of ad
