Disparate effects of MMP and TIMP modulation on coronary atherosclerosis and associated myocardial fibrosis
Abstract Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity is tightly regulated by the endogenous tissue inhibitors (TIMPs), and dysregulated activity contributes to extracellular matrix remodelling. Accordingly, MMP/TIMP balance is associated with atherosclerotic plaque progression and instability, alongside...
