“These murine and organoid experiments suggest that antimicrobial peptide expression represents a potential therapeutic target to modulate the intestinal microbiota and the response to lung injury.

Researchers develop coating for endotracheal tubes that releases antimicrobial peptides. ScienceDaily . Retrieved May 13, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2021 / 08 / 210804123511.htm ...

Antimicrobial peptides target a previously under-appreciated ‘microbial Achilles heel’, a design feature of the microbial cellular membrane that distinguishes broad species of microbes from ...

For the antimicrobial peptide, the researchers chose a synthetic bacterial toxin called KLAKAK. They attached this toxin to a variety of "trafficking peptides," which interact with bacterial ...

To validate the antimicrobial properties of these algorithm-derived peptides, 55 were synthesized and exposed to eight different pathogens including E. coli and bacteria that cause staph infection ...

The acronym stands for "specifically targeted antimicrobial peptides" and, like its postal namesake, STAMPs have a two-sided structure. The first is the short homing sequence of a pheromone, ...

In a proof-of-concept study, researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have created a coating that can be applied to endotracheal tubes and release antimicrobial peptides that ...

To overcome this, the researchers attached the peptides to small hydrogel particles, which provides a protective environment and increases the peptides’ stability. This resulted in the antibacterial ...

Scientists at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine say they have made an unexpected finding: fat cells below the skin help protect us from bacteria. Richard Gallo, M.D., Ph.D ...

To test whether supraphysiologic oxygen directly suppresses antimicrobial peptide production by intestinal epithelial cells, collaborators in the Division of Newborn Medicine, Department of ...
