## Background: Activation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (mmp-2) has been implicated in the progression, invasion, and metastasis of various cancers, but little information is available with regard to its role in pancreatic carcinoma with poor prognosis. ## Methods: Gelatin zymography was used for
## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade the extracellular matrix and are implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurological diseases. Secreted in proforms, the MMPs require activation. Tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) regulate the activity of MMPs. We investig
## Background and Objectives: The objective was to evaluate the potent role of matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) and the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases(TIMPs) in processes leading to metastasis and local invasiveness of Chinese human ductal adenocarcinomas of the pancreas. We also evaluated
