Extracellular matrix composition and remodeling in human abdominal aortic aneurysms: a proteomics approach. [PDF]
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are characterized by pathological remodeling of the aortic extracellular matrix (ECM). However, besides the well-characterized elastolysis and collagenolysis little is known about changes in other ECM proteins.

Regulation of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a degenerative disease characterized by destruction and progressive expansion of the abdominal aortic wall. An AAA is typically defined as an enlargement of the abdominal aorta with diameter ≥3 cm or ≥50% greater than ...
