Misuse and overuse of antibiotics have contributed in the last decades to a phenomenon
known as antibiotic resistance which is currently considered one of the principal threats to …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are short, mainly positively charged, amphipathic molecules.
AMPs are important effectors of the immune response in insects with a broad spectrum of …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are peptide-based effector molecules produced by the innate
immune system to combat microbes. Insects produce the broadest repertoire of AMPs, and …

The innate immune response of insects provides a robust line of defense against pathogenic
microbes and eukaryotic parasites. It consists of two types of overlapping immune …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with antiviral activity (antiviral peptides: AVPs) have become
a research hotspot and already show immense potential to become pharmaceutically …

Antimicrobial peptides play a crucial role in innate immunity, whose components are mainly
peptide‐based molecules with antibacterial properties. Indeed, the exploration of the …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are crucial effectors of the innate immune system. They
provide the first line of defense against a variety of pathogens. AMPs display synergistic …

In recent decades much attention has been paid to antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as natural
antibiotics, which are presumably protected from resistance development in bacteria …

There is a developing interest in how immune genes may function in other physiological
roles, and how traditionally non-immune peptides may, in fact, be active in immune contexts …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are ribosomally synthesized natural antibiotics that are
crucial effectors of innate immune systems in all living organisms. AMPs are diverse …
