Effect of nanoparticles on the expression and activity of matrix metalloproteinases
Matrix metallopeptidases, commonly known as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), are a group of proteolytic enzymes whose main function is the remodeling of the extracellular matrix. Changes in the activity of these enzymes are observed in many pathological states, including cancer metastases. An incre...
