Matrix Metalloproteinases in Renal Diseases: A Critical Appraisal

open access: yesKidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2019
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are endopeptidases within the metzincin protein family that not only cleave extracellular matrix (ECM) components, but also process the non-ECM molecules, including various growth factors and their binding proteins.

Tumour-targeting properties of antibodies specific to MMP-1A, MMP-2 and MMP-3 [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2010
Purpose: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a group of more than 20 zinc-containing endopeptidases, are upregulated in many diseases, but several attempts to use radiolabelled MMP inhibitors for imaging tumours have proved unsuccessful in mouse models, possibly due to the limited specificity of these agents or their unfavourable pharmacokinetic profiles.

Phylogenetic analysis of Tribolium MMPs along with MMPs from other organisms.

open access: yes, 2013
A Bayesian protein tree, with posterior probabilities, was generated using aligned MMP sequences from T. castaneum, Anopheles gambiae, Drosophila melanogaster, Homo sapiens, and Heliothis zea virus 1. A Hydra vulgaris MMP was used as outgroup.

Blood–Brain Barrier Regulation: Evolving From Classic Strategies to Electrochemical Ion and Reactive Oxygen Species Control

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional therapies suffer from poor blood–brain barrier (BBB) penetration and disordered ion/reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis, hindering precise neurological treatment. Electrochemical strategies achieve accurate spatiotemporal regulation of neural homeostasis.

EMMPRIN, an upstream regulator of MMPs, in CNS biology.

open access: yesMatrix Biology, 2015
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are engaged in pathologies associated with infections, tumors, autoimmune disorders and neurological dysfunctions. With the identification of an upstream regulator of MMPs, EMMPRIN (Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase ...

Roles for Specific MMPs in Cutaneous Wound Healing

open access: yes, 2005
Activation of the pro-enzyme can occur in three different regulated processes; stepwise activation by other proteases, cell surface activation by another MMP, or intracellularly (9,13,24,25). Stepwise activation involves other proteinases such as plasmin.

Chemical Strategies for Multistimuli Responsive Dynamic Covalent Materials in Regenerative Medicine

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Multistimuli responsive dynamic covalent materials integrate reversible chemistry with the complex chemical, mechanical, and biochemical cues of regenerative environments. This review highlights chemical strategies based on orthogonal dynamic bonds, multicomponent networks, and hierarchical architectures to regulate mechanics, degradation, and ...

Downregulation of membrane type-matrix metalloproteinases in the inflamed or injured central nervous system

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2007
Background Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are thought to mediate cellular infiltration in central nervous system (CNS) inflammation by cleaving extracellular matrix proteins associated with the blood-brain barrier.
