Epidemiological and experimental studies have provided evidence that human
papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a main player in the development of uterine cervical …

Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) comprises a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases that
degrade various components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and basement membrane …

The development of cancer has been a multistep process involving mutation, proliferation,
survival, invasion, and metastasis. Of all the characteristics of cancer, metastasis is believed …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent proteinases that are
capable of cleaving all extra cellular matrix (ECM) substrates. Degradation of matrix is a key …

Abstract Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2, MMP7 and MMP9 are important members of the
MMP family. Four polymorphisms in the promoter region of these MMPs, which are MMP2 …

The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) in matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) with the risk of gastric cardia …

Carcinogenesis is a multistep and also a multifactorial process that involves agents like
genetic and environmental factors. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are major proteolytic …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-dependent endopeptidases encoded by 24
distinct genes. Their functions have been implicated in numerous normal and pathologic …

The matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are key enzymes involved in the breakdown of
the extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, including tissue remodeling, and …

Background: The goal of our study was to evaluate the influence of genetic polymorphisms
of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2, MMP-3 and MMP-7 on susceptibility to endometrial …
