Basal localization of MT1-MMP is essential for epithelial cell morphogenesis in 3D collagen matrix

The membrane-anchored collagenase membrane type 1 matrix metalloprotease (MT1-MMP) has been shown to play an essential role during epithelial tubulogenesis in 3D collagen matrices; however, its regulation during tubulogenesis is not understood. Here, we report that degradation of collagen in polariz...
