A Matrix Metalloproteinase Mediates Tracheal Development in <i>Bombyx mori</i>

The trachea of insects is a tubular epithelia tissue that transports oxygen and other gases. It serves as a useful model for the studying of the cellular and molecular events involved in epithelial tube formation. Almost all of the extracellular matrix can be degraded by Matrix metalloproteinases (M...
