Extracellular Matrix Degradation and Tissue Remodeling in Periprosthetic Loosening and Osteolysis: Focus on Matrix Metalloproteinases, Their Endogenous Tissue Inhibitors, and the Proteasome
Figure 2
Hypothetical model of the molecular mechanisms that control periprosthetic microenvironment and potential molecular targeting with regard to the expression and activity of MMPs/TIMPs to prevent osteolysis (see text for details).
