Matrix Metalloproteinases and Glaucoma Treatment. [PDF]

, 2020
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteolytic enzymes that degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen and have important roles in multiple biological processes, including development and tissue remodeling, both in ...

From Zn to Mn: the study of novel manganese-binding groups in the search for new drugs against tuberculosis. [PDF]

, 2011
In most eubacteria, apicomplexans, and most plants, including the causal agents for diseases such as malaria, leprosy, and tuberculosis, the methylerythritol phosphate pathway is the route for the biosynthesis of the C(5) precursors to the essential ...

Purification of a fragment obtained by autolysis of a PIIIb-SVMP from Bothrops alternatus venom [PDF]

, 2018
Snake Venom Metalloproteinases (SVMPs) represent 43.1% of the components in Bothrops alternatus venom and play an important role in envenomation. Disintegrins and disintegrin-like domains are released by proteolytic processing of PII and PIII classes of ...

Repurposing cancer drugs, batimastat and marimastat, to inhibit the activity of a group I metalloprotease from the venom of the Western Diamondback rattlesnake, Crotalus atrox [PDF]

, 2020
Snakebite envenomation causes over 140,000 deaths every year predominantly in developing countries. As a result, it is one of the most lethal neglected tropical diseases.

Salivary profile of matrix metalloproteinase-8, tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase-1, myeloperoxidase, and nitrous oxide in smokers versus nonsmokers with chronic periodontitis

Journal of International Clinical Dental Research Organization, 2021
Background: Smoking is the second strongest modifiable risk factor for periodontal disease. Tissue destruction might result from matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)/tissue inhibitors of MMP (TIMP) imbalance in the diseased tissues.

Clinical Investigation of Matrix Metalloproteinases, Tissue Inhibitors of Matrix Metalloproteinases, and Matrix Metalloproteinase/Tissue Inhibitors of Matrix Metalloproteinase Complexes and Their Networks in Apical Periodontitis [PDF]

Journal of Endodontics, 2016
This clinical study investigated the levels of metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) and respective forms (MMP/TIMP complexes) in apical periodontitis to determine their networks in the development of clinical/radiographic features, thus quantifying the levels of endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides) present in primarily infected ...

Matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors [PDF]

Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1995
The progressive breakdown of connective tissues of the articular joints is a major feature of the arthritides and becomes an irreversible process leading to permanent loss of function and disability. Recent research has been directed at the analysis of the relative roles of different cell types and the different classes of proteinases that they produce
