As a family of cationic host defense peptides, defensins are mainly synthesized by Paneth
cells, neutrophils, and epithelial cells, contributing to host defense. Their biological functions …

Autoimmune diseases (AiDs) are characterized by the destruction of host tissues by the host
immune system. The etiology of AiDs is complex, with the implication of multiple genetic …

Cationic host defence peptides (CHDPs), also known as antimicrobial peptides, exhibit a
wide range of activities contributing to immune responses and resolution of infections …

Aims Several reports indicate that diabetes determines an increased mortality risk in patients
with coronavirus disease 19 (COVID‐19) and a good glycaemic control appears to be …

We performed integrative analysis of genes associated with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)
associated complications by automated text mining with manual curation and also gene …

The understanding of the genetic basis of the Parkinson's disease (PD) and the correlation
between genotype and phenotype has revolutionized our knowledge about the …

Background Rotator cuff disease is a common disorder leading to shoulder pain and loss of
function. Its etiology in atraumatic cases is uncertain and is likely to extend beyond repetitive …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are essential components of innate immunity with a broad
range of antimicrobial activities against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The aim of this study …

Abstract Human β-defensin 1 (hBD-1) is a multifaceted antimicrobial peptide being a tumour
suppressor and, depending on call of duty, capable of inducing self-nets and neutrophil …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play a critical role in controlling innate and acquired immune
responses. Local dysregulation of AMP is implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontal …
