Extracellular Matrix Degradation

Extracellular Matrix Degradation edited by William C. Parks, Robert Mecham.

Regulated turnover of extracellular matrix (ECM) is an important component of tissue homeostasis. In recent years, the enzymes that participate in, and control ECM turnover have been the focus of research that touches on development, tissue remodeling, inflammation and disease. This volume in the Bi...
