Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are essential for extracellular matrix (ECM) breakdown and repair, and have been implicated in the development of metastases. TIMP-3 was initially identified as a potent inhibitor of MMPs, however it also has several properties that are unique and not related to its ability to abrogate MMPs. We studied the effects of overexpression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3...
