Cationic host defence peptides (CHDP), also known as antimicrobial peptides, are naturally
occurring peptides that can combat infections through their direct microbicidal properties …

Dendritic cells (DCs) constitute a complex network of cell subsets with common functions but
also with many divergent aspects. All dendritic cell subsets share the ability to prime T cell …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are highly diverse and dynamic molecules that are expressed
by specific intestinal epithelial cells, Paneth cells, as well as immune cells in the …

The host defence peptide cathelicidin (LL-37 in humans, mCRAMP in mice) is released from
neutrophils by de-granulation, NETosis and necrotic death; it has potent anti-pathogen …

Cancer vaccines have shown promise as effective means of antitumor immunotherapy by
inducing tumor antigen‐specific T cell immunity. In this study, a novel peptide‐based tumor …

Pancreatic cancer is amongst the most lethal malignancies, while its poor prognosis could
be associated with promotion of autophagy and the tumor immune microenvironment …

The inherent capacity of all organisms to evolve under selective pressure has created
multidrug-resistant microbes and cells that are now threatening decades of progress in …

Modulation of immune responses by immunoregulatory agents, such as the natural or
