Hematopoietic Stem Cell Mobilization and Homing after Transplantation: The Role of MMP-2, MMP-9, and MT1-MMP
Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) are used in clinical transplantation to restore hematopoietic function. Here we review the role of the soluble matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2 and MMP-9, and membrane type (MT)1-MMP in modulating processes critical to successful transplantation of HSPC, su...
