Natural molecules induce and synergize to boost expression of the human antimicrobial peptide {beta}-defensin-3 [Immunology and Inflammation]

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are mucosal defense effectors of the human innate immune response. In the intestine, AMPs are produced and secreted by epithelial cells to protect the host against pathogens and to support homeostasis with commensals. The inducible nature of AMPs suggests that potent inducers could be used to increase... (Source: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
