Matrix metalloproteinases, and notably the gelatinases MMP-2 and MMP-9, have important roles in tumour invasion, metastasis and angiogenesis. Our study investigates the distribution of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in colorectal cancer, the correlation with plasma levels, changes following surgical resection and

Matrix metalloproteinases play an important regulatory role in tissue morphogenesis, cell differentiation and motility, and tumor cell invasiveness. We have recently demonstrated elevated activity of the 92 kDa type IV collagenase (MMP-9) in human glioblastoma and in the present study examine the re
## Abstract To investigate the relevance of gelatinaseβB (matrix metalloproteinase 9, MMPβ9) in gouty arthritis (GA), we tested the occurrence of MMPβ9 in GA patients and cell culture system. Gelatinolytic activity in the synovial fluid (SF) of patients with different kinds of arthritis was assesse
