Macrophage autophagy in atherosclerosis [PDF]
, 2013 Macrophages play crucial roles in atherosclerotic immune responses. Recent investigation into macrophage autophagy (AP) in atherosclerosis has demonstrated a novel pathway through which these cells contribute to vascular inflammation.

Bactericidal Activity of Mammalian Cathelicidin-Derived Peptides [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2000 ABSTRACT Endogenous antimicrobial peptides of the cathelicidin family contribute to innate immunity. The emergence of widespread antibiotic resistance in many commonly encountered bacteria requires the search for new bactericidal agents with therapeutic potential. Solid-phase synthesis was employed to prepare linear antimicrobial

Cathelicidins in the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractTasmanian devil joeys, like other marsupials, are born at a very early stage of development, prior to the development of their adaptive immune system, yet survive in a pathogen-laden pouch and burrow. Antimicrobial peptides, called cathelicidins, which provide innate immune protection during early life, are expressed in the pouch lining, skin ...

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.Bioactive peptides (BPs) derived from dietary proteins modulate the gut microbiotametabolism axis by reshaping microbial composition and regulating key metabolites, including short‐chain fatty acids. BPs also enhance intestinal barrier integrity and immune homeostasis, thereby reducing inflammation.

LL‐37: Biological Mechanisms and Emerging Therapeutic Applications in Intestinal Disease
Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Human cathelicidin peptide LL‐37 is encoded by the CAMP gene and plays a key role in innate immunity. It maintains intestinal homeostasis through antibacterial, immunomodulation, and tissue repair functions. This paper reviews the multiple functions of LL‐37 in the intestinal‐immune axis and its contribution to intestinal immune homeostasis. A

Antimicrobial peptides and eicosanoids : roles and interactions in inflammation and host defense [PDF]
, 2017 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have a broad spectrum of activities and exert their functions by both direct killing of microbes through the interaction with the microbial membrane, and modulation of innate and adaptive immunity of the host.

Association of Milk C‐Reactive Protein With Subclinical Mastitis in Dairy Buffaloes
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.Milk C‐reactive protein (CRP) concentrations were significantly increased in subclinical mastitis‐positive mammary lobe samples from dairy buffaloes and were consistent with somatic cell count and bacteriological findings, indicating that milk CRP reflects mammary inflammatory activity.
