Metastasis of prostate cancer to the bone is associated with increased turnover of the bone matrix. Because matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in both the normal remodeling of bone and metastasis of prostate cancer, Nemeth et al. (p. 17) investigated the role of MMP activity in prostate cancer metastasis to the bone. They used a mouse model of prostate cancer metastasis where prostate cancer cells are injected into implanted human bone fragments. They observed that inhibiting MMP activity with batimastat reduced the number of osteoclasts per millimeter of bone, prevented bone degradation, and reduced the
