Cancer cell migration under control of human cathelicidin LL-37
Cancer cell migration is a key step in the metastatic cascade. Understanding its mechanisms represents one of the greatest challenges in modern oncology. Both in vitro and in vivo experimental models and mathematical descriptions of movement dynamics are used to study this complex phenomenon.

Antimicrobial Peptides of the Cathelicidin Family: Focus on LL-37 and Its Modifications
Cathelicidins are a family of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with broad-spectrum activity and immunomodulatory functions. Among them, the only human cathelicidin LL-37 has garnered significant interest due to its potent antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, and antitumor properties.

Cathelicidin LL-37: LPS-neutralizing, pleiotropic peptide.
Human organism, constantly exposed to a large variety of pathogenic microorganisms and their products, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), developed innate immunity as a first line of defence. One of the compartments of our organism well equipped with these defence mechanisms is the respiratory system. The cells lining the airways respond to the presence

Cathelicidin peptide LL-37: A multifunctional peptide involved in heart disease
Heart disease is a common human disease with high morbidity and mortality. Timely and effective prevention and treatment is an urgent clinical problem. The pathogenesis of heart disease is complex and diverse, involving hypertension, diabetes, atherosclerosis, drug toxicity, thrombosis, infection and other aspects. LL-37, an endogenous peptide, is well
