Results The putative role of NET-externalised matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in altering the functional integrity of the endothelium was examined. MMP-9 externalised by lupus LDGs during NET ...
OBJECTIVE To define the pattern of mRNA expression of all human matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) described to date in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and traumatic synovial membrane, in order to ...
An enlarging family of matrix-metalloproteinases has been identified that are calcium-dependent enzymes which specifically degrade collagens and noncollagenous substrates (see [37] for review).
The agents of destruction include inflammatory cells, cytokines, and protein-degrading enzymes known as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The vicious cycle begins when inflammatory cells ...
What do we know about cytokine networks with alteration in the metalloproteinases system concerning respiratory disease development and progression? Could cytokines be involved in telomere attrition ...
Here, authors present apical-out nasal organoids using a biochemically defined hydrogel system, revealing that matrix metalloproteinases are required for normal epithelial development.
It also helps control enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which are important for tissue repair and growth. Studies suggest women with endometriosis might have higher levels of ...
