Matrix Metalloproteinases: Key Players in Tissue Remodeling and Disease
Matrix metalloproteinases matrix MMPs (MMPs) are a large cohort of zinc-dependent endopeptidases. These molecules play critical functions in {extracellularcell matrix remodeling, contributing to physiological processes such as wound healing, embryogenesis, and angiogenesis. However, dysregulation of MMP activity has been linked to a wide spectrum o
