Intravenous tPA therapy does not worsen acute intracerebral hemorrhage in mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is the only FDA-approved treatment for reperfusing ischemic strokes. But widespread use of tPA is still limited by fears of inadvertently administering tPA in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Extracellular regulation of metalloproteinases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and adamalysin-like metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTSs) belong to the metzincin superfamily of metalloproteinases and they play key roles in extracellular matrix catabolism, activation and inactivation ...

Prognostic value of matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma and its association with angiogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Breakdown of extracellular matrix (ECM) is one of the important hallmarks of cancer progression which facilitates the invasion of tumoral cells to the surrounding tissue.

Osteoarticular complications of brucellosis: The diagnostic value and importance of detection matrix metalloproteinases [PDF]

open access: yesActa Medica Academica, 2015
Objectives. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of infective, cancer and autoimmune diseases. In this study, we investigated the serum level of MMPs and its clinical importance in human brucellosis.

Matrix metalloproteinases in cancer [PDF]

open access: yesEssays in Biochemistry, 2002
The extracellular matrix (ECM) holds cells together and maintains the three-dimensional structure of the body. It also plays critical roles in cell growth, differentiation, survival and motility. For a tumour cell to metastasize from the primary tumour to other organs, it must locally degrade ECM components that are the physical barriers for cell ...

The regulation of matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a family of 23 enzymes in man. These enzymes were originally described as cleaving extracellular matrix (ECM) substrates with a predominant role in ECM homeostasis, but it is now clear that they have much wider ...

Gene expression and matrix turnover in overused and damaged tendons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Chronic, painful conditions affecting tendons, frequently known as tendinopathy, are very common types of sporting injury. The tendon extracellular matrix is substantially altered in tendinopathy, and these changes are thought to precede and underlie the
