Relationships between MMP-2, MMP-9, and ADAMDEC1 serum and tissue levels in patients with colorectal cancer [PDF]
Annals of ColoproctologyPurpose Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common malignancy of the gastrointestinal system globally. Identifying specific gene expression patterns indicative of early-stage CRC could enable early diagnosis and rapid treatment initiation.

The Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in Antibody-Induced Arthritis [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2002 Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a large group of enzymes responsible for matrix degradation. Among them, the family of gelatinases (MMP-2/gelatinase A and MMP-9/gelatinase B) is overproduced in the joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Contributes to Choroidal Neovascularization [PDF]
The American Journal of Pathology, 2002 Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the primary cause of irreversible photoreceptors loss in adult patients and current therapies are limited. Increased levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been documented in neovascularization of severe ocular pathologies such as AMD and proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

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,

Unexpected timely fracture union in matrix metalloproteinase 9 deficient mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Immediately following a fracture, a fibrin laden hematoma is formed to prevent bleeding and infection. Subsequently, the organized removal of fibrin, via the protease plasmin, is essential to permit fracture repair through angiogenesis and ossification ...

Matrix metalloproteinase 9 polymorphism and outcome after myocardial infarction
Cardiogenetics, 2011 Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) is functionally implicated in the process of infarct healing. Several genetic variation of the MMP9 gene have been described, among which the MMP9 Arg668Gln polymorphism.
