... expression) but also by enhancing the degradation of collagens (by increasing the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1, which is an enzyme that degrades collagens). These effects are different ...
... /STAT) that drive smooth muscle cells to divide and grow. Furthermore, CyPA may activate matrix metalloproteinases, enzymes that break down the barrier that usually keeps smooth muscle cells out of ...
... to their cartilage.
Further analysis found that too much beta-catenin signaled for higher production of an enzyme, matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13), known to preferentially break ...
... how dendritic spine development in mice with Fragile X is delayed by enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which are involved in normal brain development and physiological processes. They ...
... however, that many genes important for cell motility, such as actin-binding proteins and matrix metalloproteinases, were expressed at lower levels in fibroblasts lacking Snail1.
Cells invade tissues ...
... effects that limited the trials. The drug inhibited a family of enzymes known as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Now, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have shown that creating drugs ...
... many molecular mechanisms, of which proteolytic degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) exerted by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) was considered to be an essential step. Some data suggest that ...
... that one-quarter of human melanoma tumors had changes, or mutations, in genes that code for matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzymes. The findings lay the foundation for more individualized cancer ...
... human skin cells, ellagic acid worked to protect against UV damage by blocking production of MMP (matrix metalloproteinase enzymes that break down collagen in damaged skin ...
... angiotensin II, in part by driving up ROS production, excessively turns on enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). As part of normal healing, MMPs chew through strong flexible proteins like ...

In addition, they analyzed the most significantly altered protein, called extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer, or EMMPRIN, in a separate set 156 breast tumor tissue samples. EMMPRIN ...
... this discovery scientists thought that the enzyme, called macrophage elastase, matrix metalloproteinase-12 or MMP-12, which is produced in excess in smokers, didn't do anything but degrade ...
... &D paper reveals how two specific matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) proteins contribute to bone ... related enzymatic proteins that degrade the extracellular matrix. Normal MMP activity is tightly regulated ...
... expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase 4 (MEK4) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), which is associated with cell invasion.
Overexpression of MEK4 increased MMP-2 expression ...
