Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-3 Are Key Regulators of Extracellular Matrix Degradation by Mouse Embryos
Embryo implantation in humans and rodents is a highly invasive yet tightly controlled process involving extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) has been implicated as the major facilitator of this ECM degradation. MMP-9 is expressed by the embryo's trophoblast...
