2004 JUN 3 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Enzyme inhibitor enhances the work of breast cancer adjuvant endocrine therapy.
According to a study from England, "the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) control the activities of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and as such, they have been recognized as potential suppressors of angiogenesis and tumor invasion and metastasis.
"However, TIMP-3 has several unique properties that set it apart from other TIMPs, including its ability to bind to extracellular matrix, inhibit related adamalysin metalloproteinases (ADAMs), and induce apoptosis," explained D.R.
