Chlorotoxin does not target matrix metalloproteinase-2 in glioblastoma. [PDF]
PLoS ONEGlioblastoma aggressively invades surrounding tissue by expressing matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2). Therefore, effective inhibition of MMP-2 is a desirable target for treatment.

Contribution of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 to Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer Risk in Taiwan [PDF]
LifeMatrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9, which degrade type IV collagen, are linked to cancer invasion and metastasis. Gene polymorphisms in MMP-2 and MMP-9 can influence their function, impacting cancer development and progression.

Expression of matrix metalloproteinase 1, matrix metalloproteinase 2, and matrix metalloproteinase 9 in carcinoma of the head and neck. [PDF]
Cancer, 2002 Numerous reports have documented a direct involvement of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) overexpression in the development and progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In this study, the authors examined whether the expression of MMPs in HNSCC is correlated with other steps involved in tumor growth and metastasis, like angiogenesis,

Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Expression in Canine and Feline Meningioma [PDF]
Veterinary Pathology, 2009 Fifty-one meningiomas obtained from 28 dogs and 23 cats were selected for this study to investigate the immunohistochemical expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 and to compare it to the reverse transcriptase subunit of human-telomerase, progesterone receptor expression, and the proliferative index of the tumors,
