Nerve crush or axotomy results in a transient or long‐term denervation accompanied by
remodelling in nerve, muscle and neuromuscular junctions. These changes include an …

In a nerve crush model of denervation, we examined muscle matrix metalloproteinase
(MMP) expression, localization and activity. In normal muscle, MMP mRNA levels were low …

PROTEOLYTIC enzyme expression was studied by matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)
immunoreactivity (-IR) in muscle biopsies from patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis …

Wallerian degeneration is characterized by breakdown of myelin and axons with
subsequent macrophage infiltration and removal of the degenerating nerve components …

Although matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are increasingly being implicated in several
pathologies of the nervous system, it is not yet clear what role they play in normal …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of endopeptidases that degrade extracellular
matrix components. Membrane-type 5 MMP (MT5-MMP/MMP-24) was identified as neuron …

Abstract Background Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are key regulatory molecules in the
formation, remodeling and degradation of all extracellular matrix (ECM) components in both …

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is an extracellular protease that is induced hours after
injury to peripheral nerve. This study shows that MMP-9 gene deletion and neutralization …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) cooperatively degrade all components of the extracellular
matrix (ECM). Remodeling of ECM during skeletal muscle degeneration and regeneration …

We previously performed transcriptome sequencing and found that genes for matrix
metalloproteinases (MMPs), such as MMP7 and 12, seem to be highly upregulated following …
