A Potential Role for MMPs during the Formation of Non-Neurogenic Placodes

A Potential Role for MMPs during the Formation of Non-Neurogenic Placodes

The formation of non-neurogenic placodes is critical prior to the development of several epithelial derivatives (e.g., feathers, teeth, etc.) and their development frequently involves morphogenetic proteins (or morphogens). Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are important enzymes involved in extracell...
