purpose. To determine transforming growth factor (TGF) β effects on matrix metalloproteinases
(MMPs) as a potential cause of the blood–retinal barrier breakdown at the onset of …

Background. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1)
are important in many physiological and pathological processes. Methods. …

An electrospun nanocomposite fibrous material holds promise as a scaffold, as well as a
drug‐delivery device to aid in root maturogenesis and the regeneration of the pulp–dentine …

We have previously described decreased immunostaining of nidogen-1/entactin; laminin
chains α1, α5, β1,γ1; and epithelial integrin α 3 β 1 in human diabetic retinopathy (DR) corneas…

Dental pulp destruction is believed to be regulated, in part, by the matrix metalloproteinases
(MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs). Cytokines are believed to be important in the …

Objective: Studies have shown that Porphyromonas gingivalis and host matrix metalloproteinases
(MMPs) play important roles in the tissue destruction associated with periodontal …
