Enzyme-HPV link in cervical disease explored
NCT ID NCT04072913
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how certain enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors relate to human papillomavirus (HPV) in cervical dysplasia and cancer. Researchers collected tissue and cell samples from 216 women with different stages of cervical lesions. The goal was to compare enzyme activity across groups to better understand disease progression.
