An in vitro investigation to understand the synergistic role of MMPs-1 and 9 on articular cartilage biomechanical properties
Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a crucial role in enzymatically digesting cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) components, resulting in degraded cartilage with altered mechanical loading capacity. Overexpression of MMPs is often caused by trauma, physiologic conditions and by disease....
