Diverse reactivity of maleimides in polymer science and beyond

open access: yesPolymer International, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 296-306, April 2025.
This mini‐review provides a thorough overview of maleimide chemistry, highlighting its diverse reactivity in polymer and materials science applications. Abstract Maleimides are remarkably versatile functional groups, capable of participating in homo‐ and copolymerizations, Diels–Alder and (photo)cycloadditions, Michael additions, and other reactions ...

Host defense peptides in burns

Burns, 2004
Overuse of antibiotics and failure to apply basic infection control policies and procedures have contributed to the increasing multi-drug resistance of many nosocomial pathogens. The alarming increase of multi-drug-resistant bacteria (e.g. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, methicilin-resistant Staphylococci, vancomycin-resistant Enterococci) causes infected ...

Avian host defense peptides

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2013
Host defense peptides (HDPs) are important effector molecules of the innate immune system of vertebrates. These antimicrobial peptides are also present in invertebrates, plants and fungi. HDPs display broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities and fulfill an important role in the first line of defense of many organisms.

Antimicrobial Peptides: Amphibian Host Defense Peptides

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2019
Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) are one of the most common components of the innate immune system that protect multicellular organisms against microbial invasion. The vast majority of AMPs are isolated from the frog skin. Anuran (frogs and toads) skin contains abundant AMPs that can be developed therapeutically.

Cationic host defense (antimicrobial) peptides

Current Opinion in Immunology, 2006
Members of the cationic host defense (antimicrobial) peptide family are widely distributed in nature, existing in organisms from insects to plants to mammals and non-mammalian vertebrates. Although many demonstrate direct antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, eukaryotic parasites and/or viruses, it has been established that cationic peptides ...

Antiviral Activities of Human Host Defense Peptides

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2020
Peptides with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity are found widely expressed throughout nature. As they participate in a number of different aspects of innate immunity in mammals, they have been termed Host Defense Peptides (HDPs).

Modulation of Host Defense Peptide-Mediated Human Mast Cell Activation by LPS [PDF]

open access: yesInnate Immunity, 2016
Human β-defensin3 (hBD3) and the cathelicidin LL-37 are host defense peptides (HDPs) that directly kill microbes and display immunomodulatory/wound-healing properties via the activation of chemokine, formylpeptide and epidermal growth factor receptors on

Host Defense Peptides in the Oral Cavity

2008
Publisher Summary Host defense peptides (HDPs) are important in defense of tissues throughout the human mouth. Like resident microbial populations, HDPs are diverse, species-specific, and site-specific, and they have evolved in response to selection pressures exerted by resident and pathogenic microbial populations.

Host defense peptides: front-line immunomodulators

Trends in Immunology, 2014
Although first studied for their antimicrobial activity, host defense peptides (HDPs) are now widely recognized for their multifunctional roles in both the innate and adaptive immune responses. Their diverse immunomodulatory capabilities include the modulation of pro- and anti-inflammatory responses, chemoattraction, enhancement of extracellular and ...

Host Defense Peptides in Fish

2009
In this chapter, the authors explains genetic, structural and functional relatives of non-fish host defense peptides in fish, and they devote a portion of this discussion to each of these topics. A great leap in understanding host defense peptides in fish came when genetic techniques replaced the previously-utilised tedious and expensive purification ...
