Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) represent promising tools in various clinical applications, including the regeneration of injured tissues by endogenous or transplanted hMSCs. The molecular mechanisms, however, that control hMSC mobilization and homing which require invasion through extracellular matrix (ECM) barriers are almost unknown. We have analyzed bone marrow-derivedhMSCs and detected strong expression and synthesis of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2), membrane type 1 MMP (MT1-MMP… CONTINUE READING
