    Expression of genes for gelatinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases in periodontal tissues during orthodontic tooth movement

    Orthodontic tooth movement progresses by a combination of periodontal ligament (PDL) tissue and alveolar bone remodeling processes. Besides the remodeling of alveolar bone around the moving teeth, the major ex...

    Comparison of age-dependent expression of aggrecan and ADAMTSs in mandibular condylar cartilage, tibial growth plate, and articular cartilage in rats

    A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif (adamalysin–thrombospondins, ADAMTS) degrades aggrecan, one of the major extracellular matrix (ECM) components in cartilage. Mandibular condylar ca...

    Age-related changes in the expression of gelatinase and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase genes in mandibular condylar, growth plate, and articular cartilage in rats

    Mandibular condylar cartilage acts as both articular and growth plate cartilage during growth, and then becomes articular cartilage after growth is complete. Cartilaginous extracellular matrix is remodeled con...
