Gene expression of MMP-9 (a) and EMMPRIN (b) after 2-3 weeks and 3 months in the mBMC group and controls relative to baseline expression in the total population. Black bars: total group at baseline; grey bars: mBMC group; white bars: controls. * indicates reduction from baseline to 3 months in the mBMC group values refer to differences in expression relative to baseline between groups.
