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.

Dentin adhesion and matrix metalloproteinases
Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, 2013 One of the challenges of contemporary conservative dentistry is prevention of secondary caries. Despite the growing bond strength values, which is obtained by chemical and technical improvements, rapid solubility and low durability still make a problem.

Matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors
Фармакокинетика и Фармакодинамика, 2019 Metalloproteinase was discovered by Gross and Lapierre in 1962 for the first time. Since then, more than 20 enzymes of this family have been characterized, and their functions have been studied in detail.

Matrix metalloproteinases and epileptogenesis [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Pediatrics, 2014 Matrix metalloproteinases are vital drivers of synaptic remodeling in health and disease. It is suggested that at early stages of epileptogenesis, inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases may help ameliorate cell death, aberrant network rewiring, and neuroinflammation and prevent development of epilepsy.

Matrix metalloproteinases in skin [PDF]
Experimental Dermatology, 1997 Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc‐dependent endopeptidases collectively capable of degrading essentially all extracellular matrix components. These enzymes can be produced by several different types of cells in skin such as fibroblasts, keratinocytes.

Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2016 Introduction The prevalence of endometriosis among reproductive age women is 7–17%; however, these figures reach 20–50% in patients suffering from infertility. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) activity is thought to be particularly essential in the early

Matrix metalloproteinases at a glance [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2004 The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are one of the major families of proteinases that play key roles in the responses of cells to their microenvironment. Most notably the MMPs have the combined capacity to degrade all the components of the extracellular matrix.
