MMP-10 is overexpressed, proteolytically active and a potential target for therapeutic intervention in human lung carcinomas [PDF]
NoMatrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-mediated degradation of the extracellular matrix is a major factor for tumor development and expansion. This study analysed MMP-10 protein expression and activity in human lung tumors of various grade, stage, and type to ...

Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase 3 in Experimental Atherosclerotic Plaques
In atherosclerotic lesions, matrix metalloproteinases produced by foam cells (macrophages) are thought to increase plaque instability, promote plaque rupture, by degradating extracellular matrix. To investigate the relationship between the expression of these proteinases and the histologic appearance of atheromas, immunohistochemical analysis of matrix

Degradation of basement membranes by human matrix metalloproteinase 3 (stromelysin) [PDF]
Connective tissue cells synthesize and secrete a group of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), all of which are capable of degrading the extracellular-matrix components. One of them, MMP-3 (stromelysin) has been shown to degrade purified basement-membrane components, collagen IV and laminin [Okada, Y., Nagase, H. & Harris, E. D., Jr. (1986) J.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...
