Matrix metalloproteinases and atherosclerosis
Postępy Higieny i Medycyny Doświadczalnej, 2011 Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a family of proteolytic enzymes that degrade extracellular matrix (ECM), seem to have an important role in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Released by inflammatory cells and smooth muscle cells, MMPs regulate the vascular remodeling process.

Matrix metalloproteinases in tuberculosis [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2011 Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health pandemic. Infection is spread by the aerosol route andMycobacterium tuberculosismust drive lung destruction to be transmitted to new hosts. Such inflammatory tissue damage is responsible for morbidity and mortality in patients.
