Impact of cationic host defence peptide LL-37 on human neutrophil death and inflammatory responses
Cathelicidins are cationic host defence peptides (CHDP) with essential roles in the innate defence system. These peptides have antimicrobial potential and the capacity to modulate innate immunity and inflammatory processes. Neutrophils (PMN) are the main reservoir of cathelicidins and play key …

LL-37 and citrullinated LL-37: differential modulation of the oxylipin - chemokine axis
Inflammation plays a crucial role in the host immune system, and it involves a complex network of cellular and molecular events. In the lungs, human bronchial epithelial cells release cytokines/chemokines, and other mediators such as bioactive lipids and cationic host defence peptides (CHDPs) to …
