High impact information on MMP-13

  • In-vivo explants had increased collagen accumulation and strong MMP-13 expression at 4-8 weeks, but less activation (decreased expression of SMemb) and patchy endothelial cells at 16-20 weeks [1].
  • MMP-13 was overexpressed, mainly in fibroblasts and epithelial cells, while positivity for TRAIL and DR5 was detected on alveolar surfaces and in the vascular stroma [2].
  • Semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was performed for collagen types I, III, and V; matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13); and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 for both injured and uninjured knee ligaments at 6 and 12 weeks after injury [3].
