RESEARCH OF TISSUE ACTIVITY OF METALLOPROTEINASES AT VARIOUS FORMS OF AN ADENOMYOSIS
This study found increased activation and expression of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 in the stroma and myometrium of women with diffuse and nodal adenomyosis, with MMP-9 showing more intensive expression.

This study investigated the enzymatic activity of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 in uterine tissue samples from women in late perimenopause with diffuse and nodal forms of adenomyosis. Using immunohistochemical analysis on paraffin sections, the researchers quantified positively stained cells to assess expression levels across different degrees of myometrial lesion. The findings demonstrated increased activation and expression intensity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in both adenomyosis subtypes, with notably higher MMP-9 expression observed in the stroma and myometrium. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — specifically examining the role of matrix metalloproteinase expression in its diffuse and nodal pathological forms.
