Abstract

The tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) play a crucial role in the physiological turnover of the extracellular matrix (ECM) by tightly regulating matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activities. Disturbances in the TIMP/MMP system have been implicated in many disease processes where loss of ECM integrity is a principal feature. More recently, we have shown that mutations in TIMP3 cause the ...
