Immunomodulatory effects of cathelicidin in the gut–brain axis: A novel link between mucosal immunity and neuroinflammation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cathelicidins are evolutionarily conserved host defence peptides known for their dual antimicrobial and immunomodulatory functions. Among them, LL‐37 in humans and CRAMP in rodents have emerged as crucial regulators of both mucosal immunity and CNS inflammation.

Unselected brain imaging in suspected meningitis delays lumbar puncture, can prolong hospitalisation and may increase antibiotic costs - a pilot study [PDF]

, 2000
Background: Antibiotics reduce mortality in bacterial meningitis; a lumbar puncture (LP) will demonstrate that many patients with suspected meningitis do not need them; but delays reduce chances of culture, particularly if N8 h.

The ZNF148‐ZEB1‐AS1‐IGF2BP2‐NOD2 Axis Drives Microglial Antipneumococcal Immunity in Bacterial Meningitis

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 2, February 2026.
ZNF148 upregulates ZEB1‐AS1, which scaffolds IGF2BP2 to stabilize NOD2 mRNA, enhancing microglial anti‐pneumococcal immunity via cytokine production and bacterial clearance in bacterial meningitis. ABSTRACT Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) meningitis remains a lethal central nervous system (CNS) infection with limited therapies. This study identifies the
