Defensins and Gut Bacteria: How AMPs Kill Selectively
Paneth cell alpha-defensins selectively kill pathogens while sparing commensal gut bacteria, shaping microbiome composition rather than destroying it.
AMPs and the MicrobiomeHow Antimicrobial Peptides Shape Your Microbiome
Antimicrobial peptides selectively shape gut and skin microbiomes by targeting pathogens while sparing commensals. Defensin defects drive dysbiosis and disease.
AMPs and the MicrobiomeAMP Deficiency and Dysbiosis: When Peptide Defense Fails
Antimicrobial peptide deficiency disrupts gut microbiota, driving Crohn's disease, colitis, and systemic inflammation. Here's what the research shows.
