Is titin a target of matrix metalloproteinase-2 : implications in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury?
MMP-2 localizes to titin at the Z-disk region of the cardiac sarcomere and contributes to titin degradation in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury.
These results indicate that the Whipknot™ technique is a safe, reliable and practical option for the preparation of the hamstrings autografts.
