Antimicrobial peptide regulation by small molecules in humans and other primates

Creator:

Sinnott, Brian D.

Abstract:

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play an important role in the innate immune system. Determining the pathways by which these proteins are regulated allows for modulation of their expression for better health. Two families of antimicrobial peptides have been studied in humans: cathelicidins and defensins. There is a single cathelicidin in humans...
