Bio-responsive hydrogels for an in vitro brain cancer cell model: self-controlled inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase activity
In nature, an unbalanced level of enzyme activity (e.g. proteases) is correlated to various disease states, particularly cancer. Among them, several studies have established that medulloblastoma (MB), a brain cancer in children, is associated with an overexpression of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs)...
