Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), or host defense peptides, are small cationic or amphipathic
molecules produced by prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms that play a key role in the …

The management of bacterial infections is becoming a major clinical challenge due to the
rapid evolution of antibiotic resistant bacteria. As an excellent candidate to overcome …

As the key components of innate immunity, human host defense antimicrobial peptides and
proteins (AMPs) play a critical role in warding off invading microbial pathogens. In addition …

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 …

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 …

In this era of multi-drug resistance (MDR), antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are one of the most
promising classes of potential drug candidates to combat communicable as well as …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play a critical role in innate host defense against microbial
pathogens in many organisms. The human cathelicidin, LL-37, has a net positive charge …

Background Glioblastomas are the most common and lethal primary brain tumors. Microglia,
the resident immune cells of the brain, survey their environment and respond to pathogens …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) is a large family of compounds serving as natural antibiotics,
widely distributed across the organism, mainly in mucus layers. They are designed to …
