Think of LL-37 as a natural antimicrobial shield. It works by disrupting the outer membranes of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, essentially puncturing them like a balloon. It also helps coordinate immune responses by attracting immune cells to infection sites and modulating inflammation. This dual action allows researchers to study how the body defends itself against pathogens and how immune responses are regulated.
Research Uses
Scientists use LL-37 to study:
- How the immune system fights infections
- Antimicrobial mechanisms
