Epithelial-mesenchymal signalling : role of matrix metalloproteinase-7

2004-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The gastric hormone gastrin not only regulates acid secretion, but also gene expression and the organisation of the gastric epithelium. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, an essential mechanism in maintaining the organisation of the gastric epithelium, and in cancer.
