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.

Maternal Dietary Inflammatory Index and Biomarkers of Inflammation at Birth

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We evaluated the association between the inflammatory potential of the maternal diet during pregnancy and levels of inflammatory biomarkers measured in cord blood and maternal serum at birth. Dietary inflammatory potential was calculated using the energy‐adjusted dietary inflammatory index (E‐DII) in the French EDEN and ELFE birth cohorts ...

Cathelicidin deficiency predisposes to eczema herpeticum [PDF]

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2006
The cathelicidin family of antimicrobial peptides is an integral component of the innate immune response that exhibits activity against bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens. Eczema herpeticum (ADEH) develops in a subset of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) because of disseminated infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV).This study investigated ...

Avian cathelicidins: Paradigms for the development of anti-infectives

, 2011
The broad-spectrum defense system based on host defense peptides (HDPs) is evolutionary very old and many invertebrates rely on this system for protection from bacterial infections.

Identification and Optimization of a Truncated Hs‐1‐Derived Antimicrobial Peptide for Enhanced Broad‐Spectrum Antiviral Activity

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Can a shorter peptide be a better antiviral? Structure‐guided optimization of the amphibian peptide Hs‐1 reveals a minimal α‐helical core that, after terminal modification, displays enhanced stability and submicromolar broad‐spectrum activity against enveloped viruses while maintaining a favorable safety profile. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent

Progress in cathelicidins antimicrobial peptides research

, 2012
Cathelicidins are a family of multi-functional antimicrobial peptides found in almost all types of vertebrates, where they play vital roles in the immune system. As they possess broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, cathelicidins are not only strongly

Imaging the Antistaphylococcal Activity of CATH-2: Mechanism of Attack and Regulation of Inflammatory Response

mSphere, 2017
Chicken cathelicidin-2 (CATH-2) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial host defense peptide (HDP) that may serve as a paradigm for the development of new antimicrobial agents.
