- Abstract
Aims Aortic valve diseases are characterized by pathological remodelling of valvular tissue but the cellular and molecular effectors involved in these processes are not well known. The role of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9, MMP-3, MMP-7, and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 and TIMP-2 are investigated here.
