EFEMP1 in Direct Inguinal Hernia: correlation with TIMP3 and Regulation Toward Elastin Homoeostasis as Well as Fibroblast Mobility

Aim This basic research aimed to detect the inner-correlation of EGF containing fibulin extracellular matrix protein 1 (EFEMP1), TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 3 (TIMP3), matrix metalloprotease 9 (MMP9), elastin (ELN) in direct inguinal hernia (IH), and their effect on fibroblasts motility. Methods...
