an vital part in healing wounds such as physiological or pathological processes
and even in morphogenesis, reproduction, embryonic development, tissue
remodeling, arthritis, cancer and cardiovascular disease. MMPs are a product by
activated inflammatory cells (neutrophils and macrophages) and wound cells
(epithelial cells, fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells).
Membrane-Type
MMPs (MT-MMPs) is a subgroup of MMPs which is helpful in breaking down of
extracellular material as well as in handling of biological molecules varieties.
