Investigating salivary matrix metalloproteinase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity in fixed orthodontic-induced gingival enlargement [PDF]
Dental Research JournalBackground: Gingival enlargement (GE) is a common clinical observation among orthodontic patients, yet its underlying causes remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the potential involvement of salivary matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 ...

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2010 Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), also known as matrixins, belong to a group of zinc-dependent proteins, which are thought to play a central role in the breakdown of extracellular matrix. Collagen, elastin, gelatin and casein are major components cleaved by MMPs.

Journal of UOEH, 1997 Matrix-degrading enzymes, matrix metalloproteinases, are members of a unique family of Zinc-binding endopeptidases that are responsible for the metabolism of extracellular components in the tissue stroma. Their controlled expression is essential for normal processes such as wound healing and tissue remodeling, including embryogenesis.

Direct electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide thin film for aptamer-based selective and highly sensitive detection of Matrix metalloproteinase 2 [PDF]
Talanta, V. 274, 1 July 2024, 126079, 2023 Simple and low-cost biosensing solutions are suitable for point-of-care applications aiming to overcome the gap between scientific concepts and technological production. To compete with sensitivity and selectivity of golden standards, such as liquid chromatography, the functionalization of biosensors is continuously optimized to enhance the signal and ...

Matrix Metalloproteinases and Glaucoma
Biomolecules, 2022 Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are enzymes that decompose extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. MMPs are thought to play important roles in cellular processes, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, angiogenesis, migration, apoptosis, and host defense.
