The first matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) was discovered in 1962 from the tail of a tadpole by
its ability to degrade collagen. As their name suggests, matrix metalloproteinases are …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc dependent proteolytic metalloenzyme. MMP-9 is
one of the most complex forms of matrix metalloproteinases. MMP-9 has the ability to …

The metalloproteinase (MP) family of zinc-dependent proteases, including matrix
metalloproteinases (MMPs), a disintegrin and metalloproteases (ADAMs), and a disintegrin …

Abstract Implication By understanding Matrix Metalloprotease (MMP) dysregulation from a
pan-cancer perspective, this study sheds light on the diagnostic potentials of MMPs across …

Surgical sealants have been used for sealing or reconnecting ruptured tissues but often
have low adhesion, inappropriate mechanical strength, cytotoxicity concerns, and poor …

Most abundant in the extracellular matrix are collagens, joined by elastin that confers elastic
recoil to the lung, aorta, and skin. These fibrils are highly resistant to proteolysis but can …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), also designated matrixins, hydrolyze components of the
extracellular matrix. These proteinases play a central role in many biological processes …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), also called matrixins, function in the extracellular
environment of cells and degrade both matrix and non-matrix proteins. They play central …

It is now becoming apparent that dynamic changes occur within the interstitium that directly
contribute to adverse myocardial remodeling following myocardial infarction (MI), with …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a large family of calcium-dependent zinc-containing
endopeptidases, which are responsible for the tissue remodeling and degradation of the …
