Abstract excerpt
Soluble Fas ligand (sFasL) is released from the cell surface by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), one of which is MMP-7. We have reported that MMP-7-generated sFasL is pro-apoptotic in both in vitro and in vivo systems. However, there are contradictory reports that the soluble form of FasL is ina...
