A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Prognostic impact of p53, c-erbB-2 and epidermal growth factor receptor on head and neck carcinoma
CONTEXT: p53, c-erbB-2 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are cancer-related proteins that are usually expressed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Their prognostic value remains controversial.

Membrane‐type I metalloproteinase (MT1‐MMP): A key modifier of extracellular matrix microenvironment
MT1‐MMP: A cellular microenvironment modifier. MT1‐MMP is a major cellular microenvironment modifier, maintaining collagen homeostasis by degrading excess collagen (A), creating a migration path in motile cells such as cancer cells (B), modulating local microenvironmental signaling by cleaving transmembrane receptors (C), and destroying tissue ...

Peri‐Implantitis and Periodontitis: Biological Convergence, Contextual Divergence
Periodontal and peri‐implant tissues differ and coincide in many aspects, from the clinical and radiological perspective, including histology, microbiology, and molecular markers. Thus, health and disease may also follow different and similar routes.

ABSTRACT Spontaneously occurring primary canine pulmonary adenocarcinoma (cPAC) exhibits clinicopathological and molecular similarities to never‐smoker human lung cancers. Shared genomic alterations, including point mutations, indel mutations and copy number changes particularly in HER2 signalling, are significant therapeutic targets, especially for ...

Distribution of neu (c-erbB-2) Protein in Human Skin
The neu (c-erbB-2) gene encodes a transmembrane protein with tyrosine kinase activity that appears to be a growth factor receptor. Antibody was generated by immunization of rabbits with a synthetic polypeptide that was based on an internal sequence at the carboxy terminus of the molecule.
