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 …

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 …

Expression of membrane-type (MT) 5 matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) in the mouse brain
was examined. MT5-MMP was expressed in the cerebrum in embryos, but it declined after …

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 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) are important contributing factors of tissue remodeling
and wound healing. MMP9, a predominant soluble MMP, has been discovered as one of the …

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is an extracellular protease that is induced in Schwann
cells hours after peripheral nerve injury and controls axonal degeneration and macrophage …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) emerge as modulators of neuropathic pain. Because
myelin protects Aβ afferents from ectopic hyperexcitability and nociception from innocuous …

BACKGROUND: Although the mammalian central nervous system contains numerous matrix
metalloproteinases (MMPs), the significance of each MMP relative to nociception remains …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) comprise a large family of endopeptidases that are
capable of degrading all extracellular matrix components. There is increasing evidence that …
