Regulation of matrix metalloproteinase gene expression
13 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
The metalloproteinases degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) components and activate growth factors, thereby contributing to physiological events (tissue remodeling in pregnancy, wound healing, angiogenesis) and pathological conditions (cancer, arthritis, periodontitis). The intent of this review is to bring together various studies on transcriptional and post-transcriptional control of metalloproteinase expression....
