## Abstract P450 aromatase catalyzes the conversion of androgens to estrogens and plays a key role in the cell growth of hormoneβdependent breast cancer in postmenopausal women. On the other hand, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which can degrade almost all components of the extracellular matrix,

## Abstract Membraneβtype metalloproteinaseβ1 (MT1βMMP) is a transmembrane metalloproteinase overexpressed in tumors, which plays a major role in the first step of proβMMPβ2 activation, leading to the generation of an intermediate 62 kDa species. The second step of MMPβ2 activation that yields to t
Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) contributes to the malignant progression of human gliomas. We investigated the effect of HGF/SF on matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), expressions
## Abstract Osteogenic properties of bone cells are a key parameter governing osseointegration of implant devices. In this context, osteoblasts have a central role via extracellular matrix synthesis and remodeling that they regulate through different protease activity. In this study, we have analyz
