Angiogenesis is impaired in aging. Delayed neovascularization is due, in part, to slowed endothelial cell migration. Migration requires an optimal level of adhesion to matrix proteins, a process mediated by matrix-degrading metalloproteases (MMPs) such as MMP1. To determine whether impaired angiogen
## Abstract ## Objective Defective angiogenesis, resulting in tissue ischemia, is particularly prominent in the diffuse form of systemic sclerosis (SSc). The present study was undertaken to identify possible differences between normal and SSc microvascular endothelial cells (MVECs) in the expressi
