Abstract excerpt
The matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family (approximately 25 members in mammals) has been implicated in extracellular matrix remodeling associated with embryonic development, cancer formation and progression, and various other physiological and pathological events. Inactivating mutations in individual matrix metalloproteinase genes in mice described so far, however, are nonlethal at least up to the first few weeks...
