Cysteine Cathepsins and Their Extracellular Roles: Shaping the Microenvironment
For a long time, cysteine cathepsins were considered primarily as proteases crucial for nonspecific bulk proteolysis in the endolysosomal system. However, this view has dramatically changed, and cathepsins are now considered key players in many important physiological processes, including in disease...
