Differential Expression of Matrix Metalloproteases in Human Fibroblasts with Different Origins

Differential Expression of Matrix Metalloproteases in Human Fibroblasts with Different Origins

Fibroblasts are widely distributed cells and are responsible for the deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) components but also secrete ECM-degrading matrix metalloproteases. A finely balanced equilibrium between deposition and degradation of ECM is essential for structural integrity of tissues. I...
