## Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) are actively involved in the pathogenesis of crohn's disease (cd). we assessed the effect of the anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (tnf-alpha) monoclonal antibody infliximab on the in vitro and in vivo expression of mmp-2 and mmp-9 in cd. ## Methods:
Background: Recently we found that migration of colonic lamina propria fibroblasts in Crohn's disease patients (CD-CLPF) from inflamed mucosa is significantly reduced as compared to control-CLPF. The behavior of CD-CLPFs isolated from fistulae and strictures was now investigated in detail. Methods:
Background: Recurrence of disease after surgically induced remission constitutes a major and largely unpredictable problem in Crohn's disease (CD). Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP) are involved in the (etio)pathogenesis of CD and may thereby also
