discovery and development of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are important …

Rapidly growing resistance of pathogenic bacteria to conventional antibiotics leads to
inefficiency of traditional approaches of countering infections and determines the urgent …

Antimicrobial peptides are an abundant and diverse group of molecules that are produced
by many tissues and cell types in a variety of invertebrate, plant and animal species. Their …

The insect immune response demonstrates many similarities to the innate immune response
of mammals and a wide range of insects is now employed to assess the virulence of …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are produced by several species including insects,
other animals, micro-organisms and synthesis, are a critical component of the natural …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a large class of innate immunity effectors with a
