Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) as a Cancer Biomarker and MMP-9 Biosensors: Recent Advances [PDF]

Sensors, 2018
As one of the most widely investigated matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), MMP-9 is a significant protease which plays vital roles in many biological processes. MMP-9 can cleave many extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins to regulate ECM remodeling.

An MMP-9 exclusive neutralizing antibody attenuates blood-brain barrier breakdown in mice with stroke and stroke patient-derived MMP-9 activity.

Pharmacological Research, 2023
Rapid upregulation of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) leads to blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown following stroke, but no MMP-9 inhibitors have been approved in clinic largely due to their low specificities and side effects.

Novel Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) Inhibitors in Cancer Treatment

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) belong to a family of zinc-dependent proteolytic metalloenzymes. MMP-9, a member of the gelatinase B family, is characterized as one of the most intricate MMPs.
