Molecular Wound Assessments: Matrix Metalloproteinases
17 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
SIGNIFICANCE: The process of wound healing includes the regulated destruction of proteins via enzymes called proteinases. However, when the proteolytic process becomes excessive, pro-healing factors are destroyed and the wound healing process stalls. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are one key class of proteinases that have been observed to be elevated in many cases of failed wound healing. RECENT ADVANCES: Two...
