A number of cationic antimicrobial peptides, effectors of innate immunity, are supposed to
act at the cytoplasmic membrane leading to permeabilization and eventually membrane …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have remarkably different structures as well as biological
activity profiles, whereupon most of these peptides are supposed to kill bacteria via …

Development of novel antimicrobial agents is a top priority in the fight against multidrug-
resistant (MDR) and persistent bacteria. We developed a panel of synthetic antimicrobial …

The human cathelicidin hCAP18/LL-37 has become a paradigm for the pleiotropic roles of
peptides in host defence. It has a remarkably wide functional repertoire that includes direct …

Although much progress has been achieved in the development of cancer therapies in
recent decades, problems continue to arise particularly with respect to chemotherapy due to …

The incorporation of the innate immune system into humans is essential for survival and
health due to the rapid replication of invading microbes and the delayed action of the …

There is widespread acceptance that cationic antimicrobial peptides, apart from their
membrane‐permeabilizing/disrupting properties, also operate through interactions with …

Host defense antimicrobial peptides are key components of human innate immunity that
plays an indispensible role in human health. While there are multiple copies of cathelicidin …

The antibiotic resistance crisis is becoming incredibly thorny due to the indiscriminate
employment of antibiotics in agriculture and aquaculture, such as growth promoters, and the …

The formation of phase separated membrane domains is believed to be essential for the
function of the cell. The precise composition and physical properties of lipid bilayer domains …
