BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial peptides are integral components of the innate immune system and play a vital role in maintaining oral homeostasis. LL-37, the only human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, has gained increasing attention due to its broad-s…
In avian species, the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is a vital, highly vascularized extraembryonic structure that supports embryonic respiration, calcium transport, and innate immune defense. In this study, we applied LC/MS/MS-based proteomics to CA…
Cathelicidin CATH-2 has been reported to exert potent anti-inflammatory activity in different species though neutralizing stimuli such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and lipoteichoic acid (LTA). CATH-2 has been shown to inhibit Streptococcus suis (S. su…
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) undermines the effectiveness of antibiotic treatment, and due to this, it now worldwide health concern. In general, antibiotics are used to control or combat bacteria, their widespread and irresponsible has contributed…
Alzheimer's disease is mainly caused by two proteins, Tau and Amyloid-β. While there are several cures currently being explored for it, there is no cure yet for the disease progression and prevention, but only those to alleviate the symptoms. One of…
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are tiny proteins essential for innate immunity in various taxa, including mammals and insects. They provide defence against a wide range of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Apart from their…
BACKGROUND: The growing threat of bacterial drug resistance compels researchers to pursue new therapeutic strategies. Finegoldia magna secretes SufA, a subtilisin- like protease that plays a critical role in virulence by degrading host defense molecu…
The growing global threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), particularly in cutaneous wound infections, represents a significant clinical and economic challenge. Biofilm formation by multidrug-resistant pathogens, such as, often complicates healing…
: Bacterial biofilms formed bypose a significant challenge in veterinary medicine due to their intrinsic resistance to antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent a promising alternative. AMPs exert their bactericidal activity by binding to…
BACKGROUND: Recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI) is a major diagnostic and management challenge. Dysregulated innate immune responses, including antimicrobial peptides and cytokines, may underlie UTI susceptibility. This study investigates whethe…
Extensive research has investigated the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in treating infectious diseases and mitigating tissue damage caused by these diseases. MSCs, along with their exosomes, present a promising avenue for comb…
Periodontitis, a multifactorial inflammatory disease driven by microbial dysbiosis, dysregulated immunity, and oxidative stress, demands therapeutic strategies that concurrently address interconnected pathological pathways. Here, a biomimetic lipid d…
Lung metastasis is a leading cause of breast cancer (BC)-related mortality, driven by the immunosuppressive traits of the metastatic tumor microenvironment. However, the mechanisms underlying cell-cell crosstalk in shaping immune evasion within the m…
Cathelicidins, a diverse family of host defence peptides (HDPs) in vertebrates, are recognized for their potential in combating resistant microorganisms and their varied biological functions. While extensive studies have focused on mammalian cathelic…
The increasing resistance and the pathogen's complex multi-drug resistance mechanisms made the selection of effective antimicrobial treatments more challenging for(). The study aimed to explore the effect of,and antimicrobial peptide LL-37 on the vir…
BACKGROUND: Carotid plaque vulnerability is a current feature that aids in the decision-making for ischemic stroke risk. Proteomic analysis of plaque tissue can reveal molecular indicators of instability that complement imaging findings. We sought to…
INTRODUCTION: Urinary catheterization frequently causes urinary tract infections and patient discomfort. While hydrogel coatings combining antibacterial and hydrophilic properties offer a potential solution, challenges such as uncontrolled antimicrob…
Effective management of infected skin wounds remains a major clinical challenge, particularly as rising antibiotic resistance compromises conventional therapies. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have emerged as promising alternatives, but their clinical…
OBJECTIVES: The increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant Salmonella Typhimurium has highlighted the urgent need for alternative therapeutic strategies. This study engineered a lytic S. Typhimurium bacteriophage to present the antimicrobial pepti…
