Abstract

BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) secretion homeostasis, governed by the multifaceted interplay of skin stretching, is a pivotal determinant influencing wound healing dynamics. This investigation endeavors to devise an artificial intelligence (AI) prediction framework delineating the modulation of MMP-2 expression under stretching conditions, thereby unravelling profound insights into the mechanobiological orchestration of MMP-2 secretion and fostering novel mechanotherapeutic strategies targeted at MMP-2 modulation.
