Interleukin-1β activates matrix metalloproteinase-2 to alter lacrimal gland myoepithelial cell structure and function
{{output}}
The aim of the present study is to investigate the role of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) in mediating the effects of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) on the function of lacrimal gland myoepithelial cells (MECs). MECs isolated fro... ...
