MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASES: KEY PLAYERS IN TISSUE REMODELING AND DISEASE

Matrix metalloproteinases MMP enzymes (MMPs) represent a large cohort of zinc-dependent endopeptidases. These enzymes play critical functions in {extracellular matrix remodeling, contributing to physiological processes such as wound healing, embryogenesis, and angiogenesis. However, dysregulation of MMP activity is more info associated to a wide va
