    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    The aim of this work was to study matrix
    metalloproteinase-26 (MMP-26) and tissue inhibitor
    of metalloproteinases-4 (TIMP-4) in the human
    endometrium. Both these enzymes may be implicated in
    the implantation process. Trophoblast tissue from
    human, as well as mice embryo produces pro-MMP-9.
    Active MMP-9 is a proteolytic enzyme with a broad
    substrate specificity. MMP-26 is an affective
    activator of pro-MMP-9, and TIMP-4 is a strong
    inhibitor of MMP-26.
    We have shown that the endometrial expression of MMP-
    26 and TIMP-4 genes is maximal in mid-cycle. The
    expression pattern of both genes suggests their up-
    regulation by estrogen, and down-regulation by
    progesterone. This is supported by our findings of
    estrogen response elements upstream the coding
    sequences of both genes. Our findings suggest that
    TIMP-4 is produced in the stroma only, and finally
    secreted to the uterine fluid.
    Results of MMP-26 and TIMP-4 expression in
    hyperplastic tissue are in agreement with estrogen
    mediated regulation of these genes. MMP-26 and TIMP-
    4 expression in endometrial cancer decreases with
    the loss of histological differentiation.
