Words similar to gelatinases
Example sentences for: gelatinases
How can you use “gelatinases” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
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.
Few studies have evaluated the levels of active MMPs in situ . Gel zymography has proved to be a sensitive and effective method of detecting the activity of gelatinases in small tissue samples [ 20].
We also examined the synovial expression of the gelatinases by immunohistology, as well as their serum levels in order to determine whether these indices may predict erosions in RA patients.
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].
Overall, the present observations suggest an association between the presence of active synovial gelatinases and the early development of erosive articular damage.
