Immunology researchers may be interested in learning how relevant the LL-37 peptide might impact their studies. The immune response relies on the endogenous peptide LL-37. Injuries and infections ...
UCLA researchers found the structure of a molecule that can trigger the overactivation of the immune system in autoimmune diseases. Gerard Wong, a bioengineering professor, discovered the structure ...
Aim: Antimicrobial peptides are widespread in nature and play a critical role in host defense. LL-37 is a mere cathelicidin present in human at the moment and is thought to contribute to the innate ...
This shows the proposed model of LL-37 induced mutagenesis and mucoid conversion. Step Ia, at low doses LL-37 (*) interacts with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and enters bacterial cells, binding to DNA (Step ...
