The role of matrix metalloproteinases in leukocyte migration and collagen degradation in tuberculosis

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Tuberculosis (TB) causes disease worldwide and multi-drug resistance is rising. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) cause immunopathological lung matrix destruction, which results in transmission, morbidity and mortality. Collagen is the primary structural fibril of the lung and I primarily studied two collagenases: secreted MMP-8, and membrane bound MMP-14, and also the stromelysin MMP-10, which activates not only M...
