Hypoxia enhances secretion of matrix metalloproteinases in bovine dermal fibroblasts: an in vitro approach to bovine digital dermatitis

Dermal fibroblasts are of great importance in skin homeostasis. They are responsible for the synthesis and remodelling of extracellular proteins by the way of synthesis of some specific kind of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs). Imbalance between MMPs and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) are known to...
