Multifaceted role of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs)
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a large family of calcium-dependent zinc-containing endopeptidases, are involved the tissue remodeling and degradation of the extracellular matrix. MMPs are widely distributed in brain and regulate various processes including microglial activation, inflammation, dop...
