MT-MMPs as regulators of vessel stability associated with angiogenesis
The development of vascular system depends on the coordinated activity of a number of distinct families of molecules including growth factors and their receptors, cell adhesion molecules, extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules and proteolytic enzymes. Matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) are a family of ECM...
