Abstract excerpt
Extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover is characterized by a unique balance between matrix metalloproteinases’ degradation activity and their natural inhibition by collagen specific tissue inhibitors. Human uterine ECM is a complex structure, majorly consisting of proteins as fibrillar collagen types I and III, fibronectin, and laminin. Collagenases are enzymes from the matrix metalloproteinases’ family, which are pr...
