In adult mammals, the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricles and the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus (DG) show ongoing neurogenesis, and multipotent neural stem or progenitor cells (NSCs) in these two regions exhibit different intrinsic properties. However, investigation of the mechanisms underlying such differences has been limited ... More

The precursor of matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3/ stromelysin 1) is activated in vitro by proteinases or mercurial compounds by stepwise processes which include the initial formation of short-lived intermediates and the subsequent intermolecular cleavage of the His82-Phe83 bond to generate the fully activated mature MMP-3 (Nagase, H., Enghild, J. J., ... More
