Matrix Metalloproteinases in Tissue Remodelling and Inflammation

Matrix Metalloproteinases in Tissue Remodelling and Inflammation edited by Vincent Lagente, Elisabeth Boichot.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteolytic enzymes believed to be involved in many physiological and pathological processes associated with inflammatory reactions. MMP synthesis and functions are regulated by three major mechanisms including transcriptional activation, post-transcriptional pro...
