The Role of Antimicrobial Peptides in Influenza Virus Infection and Their Potential as Antiviral and Immunomodulatory Therapy

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2016
Influenza A virus (IAV) remains a major threat that can cause severe morbidity and mortality due to rapid genomic variation. Resistance of IAVs to current anti-IAV drugs has been emerging, and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been considered to be ...

Chlorogenic Acid Isomers Isolated from Artemisia lavandulaefolia Exhibit Anti-Rosacea Effects In Vitro

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting facial skin. It is associated with immune and vascular dysfunction mediated via increased expression and activity of cathelicidin and kallikrein 5 (KLK5), a serine protease of stratum corneum. Therefore,

CXCR2 specific endocytosis of immunomodulatory peptide LL-37 in human monocytes and formation of LL-37 positive large vesicles in differentiated monoosteophils

open access: yesBone Reports, 2020
Immunomodulatory peptide cathelicidin/LL-37 induces human monocyte differentiation into a novel bone repair cell, the monoosteophil. We now demonstrate that LL-37 is endocytosed by monocytes over a period of 6 days producing large (10 × 2 μm ...

Dysregulated proteolytic cascades in Netherton syndrome: from molecular pathology to preclinical drug testing

open access: yesThe Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Netherton syndrome (NS) is a rare, severe, and often life‐threatening disease for which current therapeutic approaches are limited and show variable effectiveness. NS is characterized by excessive epidermal desquamation that results in a highly defective epidermal barrier, constitutive skin inflammation, allergies, and hair abnormalities.

From Membrane Composition to Antimicrobial Strategies: Experimental and Computational Approaches to AMP Design and Selectivity

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for next‐generation antibiotics, acting through mechanisms such as membrane disruption and intracellular targeting. This review examines how variations in bacterial membrane composition critically influence AMP activity.
