Measurement of matrix metalloproteinase 9-mediated collagen type III degradation fragment as a marker of skin fibrosis
BACKGROUND:
The current study utilized a Bleomycin-induced model of skin fibrosis to investigate the neo-epitope CO3-610 (KNGETGPQGP), a fragment of collagen III released during matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) degradation of the protein, we have previously described as a novel biomarker for liver…
