Collagenases MMP-1, MMP-13, and Tissue Inhibitors TIMP-1, TIMP-2: Their Role in Healthy and Complicated Pregnancy and Potential as Preeclampsia Biomarkers—A Brief Review
Extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover is characterized by a unique balance between matrix metalloproteinases’ degradation activity and their natural inhibition by collagen specific tissue inhibitors. Human uterine ECM is a complex structure, majorly consisting of proteins as fibrillar collagen types I...
