MMP-7 and MMP-9 are overexpressed in the synovial tissue from severe temporomandibular joint dysfunction

MMP-7 and MMP-9 are overexpressed in the synovial tissue from severe temporomandibular joint dysfunction

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are tissue-enzymes that play a key role during the remodeling process, such as in inflammatory diseases. MMP-7 and MMP-9 have been shown to be implicated in extracellular matrix homeostasis and in joint disc remodeling. The objective of this study was to determine th...
