    Glossary Matrix Metalloproteinases

    enzymes that degrade extracellular matrix proteins

    Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of enzymes that break down proteins in the extracellular matrix, which is the network of molecules surrounding cells. They play a crucial role in tissue remodeling, wound healing, and various physiological processes, but their overactivity can contribute to diseases like arthritis and cancer.
