The Activity of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMP-2, MMP-9) and Their Tissue Inhibitors (TIMP-1, TIMP-3) in the Cerebral Cortex and Hippocampus in Experimental Acanthamoebiasis

The Activity of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMP-2, MMP-9) and Their Tissue Inhibitors (TIMP-1, TIMP-3) in the Cerebral Cortex and Hippocampus in Experimental Acanthamoebiasis

The pathological process occurring within the central nervous system (CNS) as a result of the infection by <i>Acanthamoeba</i> spp. is not fully understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether <i>Acanthamoeba</i> spp. may affect the levels of matrix meta...
