Ramping Up Antimicrobial Peptides Against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2
Human-derived antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), such as defensins and cathelicidin LL-37, are members of the innate immune system and play a crucial role in early pulmonary defense against viruses. These AMPs achieve viral inhibition through a variety of mechanisms including, but not limited to, direct...
