Host Defense Peptides from Asian Frogs as Potential Clinical Therapies
Antibiotics, 2015 Host defense peptides (HDPs) are currently major focal points of medical research as infectious microbes are gaining resistance to existing drugs. They are effective against multi-drug resistant pathogens due to their unique primary target, biological ...

Epithelial antimicrobial peptides in host defense against infection [PDF]
Respiratory Research, 2000 One component of host defense at mucosal surfaces seems to be epithelium-derived antimicrobial peptides. Antimicrobial peptides are classified on the basis of their structure and amino acid motifs.

The therapeutic potential of host-defense antimicrobial peptides
Current Drug Targets, 2002 Species across the evolutionary scale from insects to mammals deploy peptides to counter microbial invaders. Although, there are considerable differences in the primary and secondary structures of these peptides, they exert their antimicrobial activity ...

Helminthic host defense peptides: using the parasite to defend the host
Trends in Parasitology, 2023 : Parasitic helminths are destined to share niches with a variety of microbiota that inevitably influence their interaction with the host. To modulate the microbiome for their benefit and defend against pathogenic isolates, helminths have developed host ...

Avian Antimicrobial Host Defense Peptides: From Biology to Therapeutic Applications
Pharmaceuticals, 2014 Host defense peptides (HDPs) are an important first line of defense with antimicrobial and immunomoduatory properties. Because they act on the microbial membranes or host immune cells, HDPs pose a low risk of triggering microbial resistance and therefore,

Host Defense Peptides in the Oral Cavity
, 2008 International audienceHost 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 ...
