Investigating the relationship between apoptosis and the matrix metalloproteinases
Apoptosis and matrix metalloproteinases remove redundant tissue. They are independently described in similar situations but no causal relationship has been identified. This thesis hypothesizes that the process of apoptosis induces MMP expression. A new cell separation technique was developed allowin...
