Collagen breakdown in soft connective tissue explants is associated with the level of active gelatinase A (MMP-2) but not with collagenase

Recent data suggest that gelatinase A (matrix metalloproteinase-2, MMP-2) plays an important role in the degradation of collagen of soft connective tissues. In an attempt to investigate its participation in more detail we assessed the digestion of collagen in cultured rabbit periosteal explants and...
