This volume presents a comprehensive collection of chapters covering key aspects of MMP biology, including their structure, function, regulation, and detection through activity-based probes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapters in this release examine classical and selective MMP inhibitors, including specific targeting strategies for MMP-13, as well as the role of endogenous tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases. Additional contributions explore the involvement of MMPs in various biological and disease contexts, including oral diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, neutrophil biology, and cancer progression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume also addresses current challenges and opportunities in the design of MMP-targeted therapeutics, highlighting advances in drug development and pharmacological applications. Together, these chapters provide valuable insights into the biochemical, physiological, and clinical significance of MMPs, making this volume an essential reference for researchers in enzymology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and biomedical sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499167654261,"sku":"9780443470882","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/the-matrix-metalloproteinases","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
