Activation of MMP-2 by Porphyromonas gingivalis in human periodontal ligament cells
It has been reported that matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) produced by host cells plays a major role in periodontal tissue destruction. In addition, secreted virulence factors from Porphyromonas gingivalis can alter MMP secretion and cause activation in host cells that lead to the tissue degradation....
