Human defense peptides
Guðmundur H Guðmundsson
Host defense peptide expression improve the epithelial barrier
"Our studies on innate immunity with emphasis on front line defenses have unfolded key components in our innate immunity. Among the components is the sole human cathelicidin containing the host defense peptide LL-37"
It all started with a moth
