METRONIDAZOLE GEL EFFECT ON RATS WITH BACTERIA-INDUCED PERIODONTITIS
Background: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease in the periodontal tissue and causes progressive tissue damage. Tissue Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) is directly responsible for the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases.

A Complete Expression Profile of Matrix-Degrading Metalloproteinases in Dupuytren’s Disease [PDF]
Dupuytren’s disease (DD) is a common fibrotic condition of the palmar fascia, leading to deposition of collagen-rich cords and finger contractions. The metzincin superfamily contains key enzymes in the turnover of collagen and other extracellular matrix ...

Serum MMP-8 and TIMP-1 as prognostic biomarkers in gastric cancer
Despite gastric cancer being rare nowadays in Western countries, it remains one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. The course of the disease varies, so the individual gastric cancer patient’s prognosis is difficult to determine.

Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases are proteolytic targets of matrix metalloproteinase 9
Extracellular proteolysis and turnover are core processes of tissue homeostasis. The predominant matrix-degrading enzymes are members of the Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) family. MMPs extensively degrade core matrix components in addition to processing a range of other factors in the extracellular, plasma membrane, and intracellular compartments.

Peroxynitrite inactivates human‐tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‐4 [PDF]
Peroxynitrite, via post‐translational modifications to target proteins, contributes to cardiovascular injury and cancer. Since tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase‐4 (TIMP‐4), the activity of which is impaired in both pathological conditions, has several amino acid residues susceptible to peroxynitrite, we investigated its role as a potential target ...

Selective function-blocking monoclonal human antibody highlights the important role of membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) in metastasis. [PDF]
The invasion-promoting MT1-MMP is a cell surface-associated collagenase with a plethora of critical cellular functions. There is a consensus that MT1-MMP is a key protease in aberrant pericellular proteolysis in migrating cancer cells and, accordingly, a
