Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3)-mediated gene therapy for glaucoma. [PDF]
Approximately 80 million people globally are affected by glaucoma, with a projected increase to over 110 million by 2040. Substantial issues surrounding patient compliance remain with topical eye drops, and up to 10% of patients become treatment resistant, putting them at risk of permanent vision loss.

Matrix Metalloproteinase 3 Polymorphism [PDF]
Abstract Purpose: Treatment of head and neck cancer often associates different therapeutic modalities, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. In an attempt to optimize therapeutics, the identification of molecular markers linked to response to chemotherapy remains important.

Leptin and Pro-Inflammatory Stimuli Synergistically Upregulate MMP-1 and MMP-3 Secretion in Human Gingival Fibroblasts. [PDF]
Gingival fibroblast-mediated extracellular matrix remodelling is implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, yet the stimuli that regulate this response are not fully understood.

Matrix metalloproteinase-3 in brain physiology and neurodegeneration [PDF]
Structural and functional synapse reorganization is one of the key issues of learning and memory mechanisms. Specific proteases, called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), play a pivotal role during learning-related modification of neural circuits. Different types of MMPs modify the extracellular perisynaptic environment, leading to the plastic changes ...

Matrix metalloproteinase-3 removes agrin from synaptic basal lamina [PDF]
Agrin, a heparin sulfate proteoglycan, is an integral member of the synaptic basal lamina and plays a critical role in the formation and maintenance of the neuromuscular junction. The N-terminal region of agrin binds tightly to basal lamina, while the C-terminal region interacts with a muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) to induce the formation of ...

Pyrone-based inhibitors of metalloproteinase types 2 and 3 may work as conformation-selective inhibitors. [PDF]
Matrix metalloproteinases are zinc-containing enzymes capable of degrading all components of the extracellular matrix. Owing to their role in human disease, matrix metalloproteinase have been the subject of extensive study.
