The pseudojoint cavity formed in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) is later remodeled to synovial membrane-like tissue, which produces pseudosynovial fluid. This pseudosynovium also is an important source of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). As it is widely speculated that synovial fl
## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in the remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the arterial wall during atherogenesis. Collagens are the most abundant proteins in the ECM. MMPβ8 is expressed by cells associated with the development of the atherosclerotic plaque. It
