## Abstract As the primary immune effector cells in the CNS, microglia play a central role in regulating inflammation. The extracellular matrix (ECM) protein vitronectin is a strong inducer of microglial activation, switching microglia from a resting into an activated potentially destructive phenot
Matrix metalloproteinases belong to a family of zinc-dependent enzymes capable of degrading extracellular matrix and basement membrane components. Their expression is greatly modulated by cytokines and growth factors and involves the gene products of the Fos and Jun families of oncogenes. After extr
