Matrix Metalloproteinase 2 Activation in Cultured Corneas
Ophthalmic Research, 2000 <i>Purpose:</i> Corneas that are maintained in tissue culture medium shed their epithelial cells and repopulation following graft surgery is an essential facet of the healing process. Failure to do so may be a result of structural damage to the epithelial basement membrane of a donor cornea.

The Aging Blood: Cellular Origins, Circulating Drivers, and Therapeutic Potential
Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.As a conduit linking all organs, the blood system both reflects and actively drives systemic aging. This review highlights how circulating pro‐aging and antiaging factors and age‐associated hematopoietic stem cell dysfunction contribute to immunosenescence and multi‐organ decline, positioning the hematopoietic system as a target for aging intervention.

Possible Mechanism of Betel-quid-extract-induced Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2010 Betel quid extract (BQE) has been demonstrated to induce matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 expression. This study aimed to establish the possible mechanism involved in this event. Methods: Western blotting, reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction,
