Cathelicidins are a group of antimicrobial peptides. Since their discovery, it has become
clear that they are an exceptional class of peptides, with some members having pleiotropic …

The innate immune system utilizes many approaches for defense against invading
microorganisms, including complement-mediated lysis, engulfment, formation of neutrophil …

Cathelicidins are short cationic peptides that are part of the innate immune system. At first,
these peptides were studied mostly for their direct antimicrobial killing capacity, but …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) expressed by epithelial and immune cells are largely
described for the defense against invading microorganisms. Recently, their …

Cathelicidins, like other antimicrobial peptides, exhibit direct antimicrobial activities against
a broad spectrum of microbes, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria …

LL‐37, also called cathelicidin, is an important part of the human immune system, which can
resist various pathogens. A plethora of experiments have demonstrated that it has the …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are molecules that provide protection against environmental
pathogens, acting against a large number of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi …

Cathelicidins are antimicrobial peptides produced by humans and animals in response to
various pathogenic microbes. This review intends to provide a brief overview of the …

Background Clostridium difficile mediates intestinal inflammation by releasing toxin A (TxA),
a potent enterotoxin. Cathelicidins (Camp as gene name, LL-37 peptide in humans and …

We hypothesized that the antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin has a physiological role in
