Tipping the Balance: Context and Cell-Specific Regulation of MMPs and TIMPs in Liver Fibrosis
Chronic liver disease represents a substantial global health burden, yet effective anti-fibrotic therapies remain elusive, largely due to an incomplete understanding of extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. While historical research prioritized the role of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) deficiency in fibrogenesis, cli...
