The immense diversity of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins confers distinct biochemical
and biophysical properties that influence cell phenotype. The ECM is highly dynamic as it is …

Abstract In tumors, Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs) constitute the most prominent
component of the tumor microenvironment (TME). CAFs are heterogeneous and composed …

Fibroblasts in the tumor stroma are well recognized as having an indispensable role in
carcinogenesis, including in the initiation of epithelial tumor formation. The association …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) consist of a multigene family of zinc‐dependent
extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling endopeptidases implicated in pathological …

R-Aminophosphonic acids are broadly defined as analogues of amino acids in which the
carboxylic group is replaced by a phosphonic acid or related group (usually phosphonous or …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-dependent protein and peptide hydrolases. They
have been almost exclusively studied in vertebrates and 23 paralogs are present in humans …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), also known as matrixins, belong to a group of zinc-
dependent proteins, which are thought to play a central role in the breakdown of …

Human matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) belong to the M10 family of the MA clan of
endopeptidases. They are ubiquitarian enzymes, structurally characterized by an active site …

Tea ranks second only to water as a major component of fluid intake worldwide and has
been considered a health-promoting beverage since ancient times. For the past two …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in the degradation of extracellular
matrix components crucial for tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. MMPs are controlled …
