In this issue, Rohani et al. (2015) report on the role of macrophage-derived stromelysin-2 (matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-10) in promoting the turnover of extracellular matrix (ECM) during cutaneous wound repair. They provide evidence that MMP-10 specifically enhances collagenolytic activity of murine MMP-13 produced by M2-like macrophages. These results emphasize the important role of macrophage-derived MMP-10 in regulating tissue remodeling and scar formation during wound healing.
