Dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid levels of matrix metalloproteinases in human traumatic brain injury
Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are extracellular enzymes involved in the degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Increased expression of MMPs have been described in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and may contribute to additional tissue injury and blood–brain barrier damage. The...
