Tissue specificity of MMP gene expression and secretion in tuberculosis

2015-01-01

Abstract excerpt

In tuberculosis (TB), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have a major role in tissue destruction and cavitation. The composition of each extracellular matrix (ECM) gives specificity to tissues and is important in control of local immune responses by acting as a “molecular postcode”. Hence, it is likely to have important implications in TB. During central nervous system (CNS) infection, the effect of TB on blood-brai...
