Streptococcal M1 Strikes by Neutralizing Cathelicidins [PDF]
Cell Host & Microbe, 2015 Virulent group A streptococci have become a serious threat, with the emergence of the hypervirulent lineage M1T1. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, LaRock et al. (2015), uncover a role for the streptococcal M1 protein in neutralizing a key human antimicrobial peptide, cathelicidin.

Immunomodulatory Role of Cathelicidin at Colonic Epithelium
, 2020 Cathelicidin, a small, cationic and amphiphilic host defense peptide, is expressed by hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. Initially considered an antimicrobial, cathelicidin are more than simply natural antibiotics.

Cathelicidins: family of antimicrobial peptides. A review [PDF]
Molecular Biology Reports, 2012 Cathelicidins are small, cationic, antimicrobial peptides found in humans and other species, including farm animals (cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, rabbits and in some species of fish). These proteolytically activated peptides are part of the innate immune system of many vertebrates.

BMEMat, EarlyView.To break the self‐perpetuating pathology of chronic wounds, we propose a mechanism‐driven engineering framework for peptide‐based hydrogels. This review elucidates a hierarchical strategy—from molecular design to intelligent, multi‐functional systems—that enables these programmable biomaterials to dynamically intervene in key pathological loops and ...
