Role of matrix Metalloproteinases in pituitary adenoma invasion
Chinese Neurosurgical Journal, 2018 Though pituitary adenomas are benign tumors in most cases, a considerable fraction of PAs behave in a malignant-like manner and invade to the adjacent structures in sellar region, especially the cavernous sinuses.

Protease-sensitive atelocollagen hydrogels promote healing in a diabetic wound model [PDF]
Journal of Materials Chemistry B 2016, 2016 The design of exudate-managing wound dressings is an established route to accelerated healing, although such design remains a challenge from material and manufacturing standpoints. Aiming towards the clinical translation of knowledge gained in vitro with highly swollen rat tail collagen hydrogels, this study investigated the healing capability in a ...

Facial structure of matrix convex sets [PDF]
J. Funct. Anal. 283 (2022) 109601, 55pp, 2021 This article investigates the notions of exposed points and (exposed) faces in the matrix convex setting. Matrix exposed points in finite dimensions were first defined by Kriel in 2019. Here this notion is extended to matrix convex sets in infinite-dimensional vector spaces.

ASAP-SML: An Antibody Sequence Analysis Pipeline Using Statistical Testing and Machine Learning [PDF]
, 2020 Antibodies are capable of potently and specifically binding individual antigens and, in some cases, disrupting their functions. The key challenge in generating antibody-based inhibitors is the lack of fundamental information relating sequences of antibodies to their unique properties as inhibitors.

A Hybrid Model of a Genetic Regulatory Network in Mammalian Sclera [PDF]
EPTCS 125, 2013, pp. 99-105, 2013 Myopia in human and animals is caused by the axial elongation of the eye and is closely linked to the thinning of the sclera which supports the eye tissue. This thinning has been correlated with the overproduction of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2), an enzyme that degrades the collagen structure of the sclera.

Regulation of mammary gland branching morphogenesis by the extracellular matrix and its remodeling enzymes. [PDF]
, 2003 A considerable body of research indicates that mammary gland branching morphogenesis is dependent, in part, on the extracellular matrix (ECM), ECM-receptors, such as integrins and other ECM receptors, and ECM-degrading enzymes, including matrix ...
