Epilysin (matrix metalloproteinase-28) contributes to airway epithelial cell survival

<p>Abstract</p> <p>MMP28 is constitutively expressed by epithelial cells in many tissues, including the respiratory epithelium in the lung and keratinocytes in the skin. This constitutive expression suggests that MMP28 may serve a role in epithelial cell homeostasis. In an effort t...
