Agrin-Matrix Metalloproteinase-12 axis confers a mechanically competent microenvironment in skin wound healing

Replenishing key extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins facilitate wound healing through unclear mechanisms. Here the authors report that injury-triggered Agrin, an ECM proteoglycan, tunes a mechanocompetent niche by engaging MMP-12, thereby enforcing efficient skin wound healing.
