Induced sputum MMP-1, -3 & -8 concentrations during treatment of tuberculosis. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Tuberculosis (TB) destroys lung tissues and this immunopathology is mediated in part by Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs). There are no data on the relationship between local tissue MMPs concentrations, anti-tuberculosis therapy and sputum ...
