Protective Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 in Allergic Bronchial Asthma

Protective Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 in Allergic Bronchial Asthma

Inflammation, reversible obstruction, and hyperresponsiveness of the airways are characteristic findings of bronchial asthma. Several evidence has demonstrated the involvement of matrix metalloproteinase-2 in allergic airway inflammation. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 may promote aberrant tissue remode...
