LL-37
Key Takeaways: LL-37
LL-37 is a Other peptide primarily researched for:
- Broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity
- Rapid wound and tissue healing
- Immunomodulatory effects
Research Profile
LL-37 is the only human antimicrobial peptide belonging to the cathelicidin family. It is a critical component of the body’s innate defense and repair system.
Antibiotic Alternative
LL-37 is researched for its ability to kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi by physically disrupting their cell membranes. It is particularly effective against multi-drug resistant strains that standard antibiotics cannot touch.
Healing and Repair
Beyond killing pathogens, LL-37 stimulates the migration of skin cells to close wounds and promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth). It is a high-interest compound for research into diabetic foot ulcers, severe burns, and chronic skin conditions like psoriasis.
