Targeting Matrix Metalloproteinases and Their Inhibitors in Melanoma.

Malignant melanoma is one of the most important dermatological neoplasms. The high mortality rate associated with this skin disease is primarily due to the occurrence of metastases, while the diagnosis and treatment of melanoma in its early stages has a favorable prognosis. Early detection is crucial because the success of treatment is directly related to the depth of cancerous growth.

Introduction: Perfumes are the cosmetics applied to the skin. Body odor has been shown to be attractive in the fertile days in non-user of contraception. However, contraception pill intake destroy cyclic attractiveness of odors.

History of autologous platelet-rich plasma: A short review.

Background: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a medical material with numerous applications. It produces particularly spectacular effects when applied in cosmetic dermatology.

Aim: To illustrate the origin of the treatment.

Plasma Concentrations of Matrilysins MMP-7 and MMP-26 as Diagnostic Biomarkers in Breast Cancer.

Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of proteolytic enzymes involved in the maintenance of a proper structure of extracellular matrix (ECM). Matrilysins (MMP-7 and MMP-26) are members of the MMPs group that show promise as potential breast cancer (BC) markers. The aim of the study was to evaluate plasma levels of MMP-7, MMP-26 and CA 15-3 individually and in combination and assess the diagnostic utility of studied matrilysins in patients with BC.
