Pigment epithelium-derived factor as a natural matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor: a comparison with classical matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors used for cancer treatment

Objectives: In the 1990s, the discovery of the important role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in cancer angiogenesis, growth and metastasis galvanised research efforts to search for ways to inhibit these MMPs.
