Simultaneous study of matrix metalloproteinases, proinflammatory cytokines, and soluble cytokine receptors in the tears of noninfectious corneal ulcer patients

Background We investigated the presence of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), proinflammatory cytokines, and soluble cytokine receptors in the tear fluid of patients with noninfectious corneal ulcers in the peripheral cornea. Methods The subjects were...
