The extracellular matrix is a network of fibres that hold cells together. It is broken down during normal physiological and disease processes such as bone remodelling, embryogenesis, cancer, and arthritis. This book is an up-to-date and comprehensive collection of data about the matrix metalloproteinases - enzymes which breakdown the extracellular matrix, and their specific inhibitors.
