Researchers have long known that glycosaminoglycan-binding proteins (HBPs) help control vital processes like cell growth, ...

A team of scientists led by the UAB has identified a new type of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) found in human proteins that ...

“But the human body is clever in that it only produces these antimicrobial peptides where the bacteria are, so they are not circulating in the blood,” said Franzyk. If a small part of tissue ...

Thus, there is tremendous potential to harness the human microbiome to identify unexplored peptide sequences with antimicrobial activity. Using computational techniques, the researchers assessed ...

A study identifies a new antimicrobial peptide that effectively targets gram-negative bacteria, highlighting its potential in ...

A research group in Korea has discovered a novel natural antimicrobial peptide, "Hirunipin-2," from the salivary glands of ...

The regulation of the cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide gene is a human/primate-specific adaptation and is not conserved in other mammals. The capacity of the vitamin D receptor to act as a high ...

Additionally, ongoing research is investigating the potential of antimicrobial ... the production and release of human growth hormone. For healthy individuals, peptide supplements are unlikely ...

Researchers have long sought to understand and harness their antimicrobial properties to treat infections; however, the peptides have a short half-life ... it does not affect human cells or interfere ...

Lysozyme is the most common antimicrobial peptide produced by the gut, and it is also highly expressed in human breast milk. The functional consequence of this augmented dietary lysozyme was less lung ...

the researchers used the AI-driven molecular de-extinction strategy to prospect for antimicrobial peptides—encrypted peptides—hidden within extinct and extant human proteins. To achieve this ...
