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

In a nationwide multicenter cohort, an early response to tolvaptan (≥ 1.5‐kg weight loss within 7 days) was independently associated with improved long‐term survival in patients with cirrhosis and hepatic edema. Early initiation before renal impairment or hyponatremia may optimize treatment response and prognosis. ABSTRACT Aim Hepatic edema indicates a
