Matrix Metalloproteinases: Key Players in Tissue Remodeling and Disease
Matrix metalloproteinases MMP enzymes (MMPs) constitute a large family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases. These enzymes play critical roles in {extracellulartissue matrix remodeling, contributing to physiological processes such as wound healing, embryogenesis, and angiogenesis. However, dysregulation in MMP activity is associated to a wide spectrum
