Abstract excerpt
Maintenance of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is important for tissue integrity and cellular physiology. Normal ECM turnover is regulated by a balance between matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors, the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). In metastasis, this balance favours increased ECM degradation. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of TIMP-1 overexpression on the...
