Matrix Metalloproteinases and Cancer Invasion: How Dietary Legumes May Modulate MMP-Driven Tumor Progression
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are extracellular proteases that remodel tissue architecture by degrading components of the basement membrane and stromal extracellular matrix. In cancer, this remodeling is not merely a passive consequence of tumor growth; it is a mechanistic enabler of invasion and…Read More »
