## Studies of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) suggest that one of their main functions is to inhibit metalloproteinase (MMP) activity and thus prevent tumor invasion by preserving extraceilular matrix (ECM) integrity. In the present study we examined the distribution of transcripts
Increased collagenase activity in colorectal carcinomas has recently been shown to be associated with increased malignant potential. To determine the tissue distribution of collagenase and its specific inhibitor, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP), we carried out an immunohistochemical st
