Enhanced expression of the type IV collagenases MMP-2 and MMP-9, or lack of their inhibitors TIMP-1 and TIMP-2, has been associated with tumour invasion and metastatic potential in several experimental models. Regulation of enzyme activity is clearly a key step in tumour invasion, and recently a pot
Partial hepatectomy triggers a variety of biological phenomena, which culminate in regeneration of the liver mass. Hepatocyte proliferation is a major feature of the regenerating liver after partial hepatectomy. Previous studies in our laboratory suggested that hepatic matrix remodeling might be a p
