Defensins at the Mucosal Surface: Latest Insights into Defensin-Virus Interactions [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2016 ABSTRACT Defensins are innate immune effector peptides expressed at mucosal surfaces throughout the human body and are potently antiviral in vitro . The role of defensins in viral pathogenesis in vivo is poorly understood; however, recent studies have revealed that defensin-virus ...

The repertoire of equine intestinal α-defensins [PDF]
, 2009 Background Defensins represent an important class of antimicrobial peptides. These effector molecules of the innate immune system act as endogenous antibiotics to protect the organism against infections with pathogenic microorganisms. Mammalian defensins

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 ...

The Chemistry and Biology of Theta Defensins [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2014 AbstractCyclic peptides are found in a diverse range of organisms and are characterized by their stability and role in defense. Why is only one class of cyclic peptides found in mammals? Possibly we have not looked hard enough for them, or the technologies needed to identify them are not fully developed.

Defensins: Potential Effectors in Autoimmune Rheumatic Disorders
, 2011 Defensins are small cationic peptides with antimicrobial properties. They constitute a highly conserved innate immune defense mechanism across species. Based on the arrangement of disulfide-bonds, α- and β-defensins are distinguished in humans.

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mycosis fungoides is a misnomer that means ‘mushroom‐like fungal disease’, but it is, in fact, the most common form of cutaneous T‐cell lymphoma. The diagnosis of mycosis fungoides is often delayed due to non‐specific symptoms and cutaneous signs that mimic other common benign inflammatory dermatoses.
