How can you use “gelatinases” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

In patients with inflammatory arthritis the gelatinases are expressed in the synovial membrane, and have been implicated in synovial tissue invasion into adjacent cartilage and bone.
A number of studies have shown that the serum and synovial levels of both gelatinases MMP-2 [ 9, 10] and MMP-9 [ 11, 12, 13] are similarly elevated in RA.
Although the evidence is indirect, these data are consistent with the hypothesis that high levels of activated synovial gelatinases reflect augmented synovial invasiveness; these observations are similar to those made in the context of invasive cancers [ 16].
It is hypothesized that an imbalance between the activators and inhibitors of the gelatinases results in higher levels of activity, enhanced local proteolysis, and bone erosion.
In cancer the gelatinases [matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9] have been shown to be associated with tissue invasion and metastatic disease.
