Matrix metalloproteinase-induced cervical extracellular matrix remodelling in pregnancy and cervical cancer

Matrix metalloproteinase-induced cervical extracellular matrix remodelling in pregnancy and cervical cancer

The phenomenal extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling of the cervix that precedes the myometrial contraction of labour at term or preterm appears to share some common mechanisms with the occurrence, growth, invasion and metastasis of cervical carcinoma. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-depe...
