## Abstract The metalloproteinases degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) components and activate growth factors, thereby contributing to physiological events (tissue remodeling in pregnancy, wound healing, angiogenesis) and pathological conditions (cancer, arthritis, periodontitis). The intent of this
## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a gene family of neutral proteases that are important in normal development, wound healing, and a wide variety of pathological processes, including the spread of metastatic cancer cells, arthritic destruction of joints, atherosclerosis, and neuroinfl
## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play critical roles in egg fertilization, embryonic development, wound repair, cancer, and inflammatory and neurologic diseases. This subfamily of metzincin peptidases can cleave extracellular matrix (ECM) and pericellular proteins that have profound eff
## Abstract The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an important regulator of mammary epithelial cell (MEC) function and is remodeled by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). To investigate the significance and regulation of MMP activity in normal MEC, we utilized a primary culture model in which rat MEC wer
