## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Upregulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been suggested to have an important role in the pathogenesis of nasal polyps (NPs). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of rhinovirus (RV) infectio

## Background: The 5-year survival rate of patients with submucosal (sm) esophageal carcinoma continues to be much worse than that with intramucosal (m) lesions. the reasons are unclear, but matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) and membrane type matrix metalloproteinases (mt-mmps) are known to be invol
Background. Over 80% of patients with osteosarcoma treated with excision alone develop pulmonary metastases, suggesting that the majority of patients with this disease harbor ''micrometastases'' at diagnosis. There are no histologic or molecular variables which can predict the presence or absence of
## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) play major roles in physiological extracellular matrix turnover during normal development and in pathological processes. In brain, increases in MMP activity occur, for example, in multiple sclero
## Background: Three types of membrane type-matrix metalloproteinases (mt-mmps) have been identified as activators of pro-mmp2 (gelatinase a/72-kilodalton type iv collagenase), which is believed to be crucial for tumor invasion and metastasis. mt1-mmp has been shown to be widely expressed in variou
