Background: In spite of major advances in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, there remains a paucity of biomarkers for early detection. Legumain is a potential cancer biomarker and a molecular target for imaging and drug targeting. Legumain is a...

Cationic host defense peptides; novel antimicrobial therapeutics against Category A pathogens and emerging infections (2016)
Journal Article
Findlay, F., Proudfoot, L., Stevens, C., & Barlow, P. G. (2016). Cationic host defense peptides; novel antimicrobial therapeutics against Category A pathogens and emerging infections. Pathogens and Global Health, 110(4-5), 137-147. https://doi.org/10.1080/20477724.2016.1195036

Cationic Host Defense Peptides (HDP, also known as antimicrobial peptides) are crucial components of the innate immune system and possess broad-spectrum antibacterial, antiviral, and immunomodulatory activities. They can contribute to the rapid clear... Read More about Cationic host defense peptides; novel antimicrobial therapeutics against Category A pathogens and emerging infections.
