Antimicrobial peptides modulate lung injury by altering the intestinal microbiota

Antimicrobial peptides modulate lung injury by altering the intestinal microbiota

Abstract Background Mammalian mucosal barriers secrete antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as critical, host-derived regulators of the microbiota. However, mechanisms that support microbiota homeostasis in response to inflammatory stimuli, such as supraphysiologic oxygen, remain unclear. Results We show t...
