The first matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) was discovered in 1962 from the tail of a tadpole by
its ability to degrade collagen. As their name suggests, matrix metalloproteinases are …

As their name implies, matrix metalloproteinases are thought to be responsible for the
turnover and degradation of the extracellular matrix. However, matrix degradation is neither …

such as gelatin and a tackiness-providing polyhydroxy compound, such as at least one …

This review will describe the structure and function of the eosinophil. The roles of several
relevant cell surface molecules and receptors will be discussed. We will also explore the …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have outgrown the field of extracellular-matrix biology
and have progressed towards being important regulatory molecules in cancer and …

Endothelial cells of the blood and lymphatic vasculature are polarized cells with luminal
surfaces specialized to interact with inflammatory cells upon the appropriate stimulation; …

The mechanisms through which hematopoietic cytokines accelerate revascularization are
unknown. Here, we show that the magnitude of cytokine-mediated release of SDF-1 from …

Airway remodelling refers to the structural changes that occur in both large and small
airways relevant to miscellaneous diseases including asthma. In asthma, airway structural …

Following myocardial infarction (MI), circulating blood monocytes respond to chemotactic
factors, migrate into the infarcted myocardium, and differentiate into macrophages. At the …
