Serum MMP-8 and TIMP-1 as prognostic biomarkers in gastric cancer
Tumor Biology, 2018 Despite gastric cancer being rare nowadays in Western countries, it remains one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. The course of the disease varies, so the individual gastric cancer patient’s prognosis is difficult to determine.

A Hybrid Model of a Genetic Regulatory Network in Mammalian Sclera [PDF]
EPTCS 125, 2013, pp. 99-105, 2013 Myopia in human and animals is caused by the axial elongation of the eye and is closely linked to the thinning of the sclera which supports the eye tissue. This thinning has been correlated with the overproduction of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2), an enzyme that degrades the collagen structure of the sclera.

Matrix metalloproteinases as new targets in Alzheimer's disease: Opportunities and Challenges [PDF]
Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, American Chemical Society, 2020, 2021 Although matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are implicated in the regulation of numerous physiological processes, evidences of their pathological roles have also been obtained in the last decades, making MMPs attractive therapeutic targets for several diseases.

An injectable, self-healing and MMP-inhibiting hyaluronic acid gel via iron coordination [PDF]
, 2021 Regulating the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is a potential strategy for osteoarthritis (OA) therapy, although delivering this effect in a spatially and temporally localised fashion remains a challenge. Here, we report an injectable and self-healing hydrogel enabling factor-free MMP regulation and biomechanical competence in situ.
