Praise for the Series:
"Maintains the tradition and set-up of the previous volumes and certainly provides up-to-date data on varied aspects of cytology... a valuable acquisition to any library." --The Nucleus

Matrix Metalloproteinases and Tissue Remodeling in Health and Disease: Cardiovascular Remodeling, Volume 147 contains up-to-date information on the biology and function of matrix metalloproteinases and how their effects on tissue remodeling are altered in diseases of the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and musculoskeletal systems and in other tissues and organs, and in cancer. This latest release covers such highly evolving topics as Biochemical and Biological Attributes of Matrix Metalloproteinases, Matrix Metalloproteinases in Myocardial Infarction and Heart Failure, The Balance Between Metalloproteinases and TIMPs: Critical Regulator of Microvascular Endothelial Cell Function in Health and Disease, and Matrix Metalloproteinases and Platelet Function.
