High tissue inhibitor of matrix-metalloproteinase 2 expression correlates with poor prognosis in breast cancer (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Heyman, T., Joseph, C., Craze, M., Green, A., Nolan, C., Rueda, O., …Mukherjee, A. (2020). High tissue inhibitor of matrix-metalloproteinase 2 expression correlates with poor prognosis in breast cancer.

Background & objectives
TIMP2, tissue inhibitor of matrix-metalloproteinase 2, inhibits the matrix-metalloproteinase, MMP2, but may activate pro-MMP2. Hence its correlation with prognosis in breast cancer (BC) is contradictory. This study investigat...
