Keratinocytes from human skin respond as typical immune cells after the stimulation with _Trichophyton rubrum_ [PDF]

, 2007
_Trichophyton rubrum_ is the main agent causing dermatophytosis (1). Keratinocytes are considered to be the first physical barrier of defense against pathogens (2). But not only a physical barrier.

The role of cathelicidins in neutrophil biology

Journal of Leukocyte Biology
Abstract Despite their relatively short lifespan, neutrophils are tasked with counteracting pathogens through various functions, including phagocytosis, production of reactive oxygen species, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), and host defense peptides.

Novel Molecules for Intra-Oral Delivery of Antimicrobials to Prevent and Treat Oral Infectious Diseases [PDF]

, 2008
New molecules were designed for efficient intra-oral delivery of antimicrobials to prevent and treat oral infection. The salivary statherin fragment, which has high affinity for the tooth enamel, was used as a carrier peptide. This was linked through the

Antimicrobial peptides and other potential biomarkers of critical illness in SARS‐CoV‐2 patients with acute kidney injury. AMPAKI‐CoV study

Physiological Reports
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) constitute a complex network of 10–100 amino acid sequence molecules widely distributed in nature. While over 300 AMPs have been described in mammals, cathelicidins and defensins remain the most extensively studied.
