Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a large family of regulatory enzymes that function in extracellular matrix degradation and facilitate a diverse range of cellular processes. Despite the significant focus on the activities of MMPs in human disease, there is a lack of substantial knowledge regarding their normal physiological roles and their role in regulating aspects of stem cell biology. The...
