research 1339 Mature adipocytes inhibit the antimicrobial function of dermal adipogenic stem cells: An explanation for impaired cutaneous defense in obesity
This study found that in obese mice, local antimicrobial activity is reduced due to a loss of adipogenic stem cells and an increase in mature adipocytes, leading to higher susceptibility to skin infections.
research 1325 Age-dependent loss of the stemness and antimicrobial defense function of dermal fibroblasts is mediated by TGFbeta
This study found that TGFbeta is a key pathway causing age-related loss of dermal fat's antimicrobial function, suggesting that targeting TGFBR might help restore skin defense against infections in older age.
research Amino acid–derived defense metabolites from plants: A potential source to facilitate novel antimicrobial development
This review discusses various amino acid-derived plant defensive compounds and highlights their potential as drug leads due to their potent antimicrobial properties, but reports no new experimental results.
research Role of Human Skin Antimicrobial Peptides in Psoriasis
In this study, researchers found that psoriasis patients with untreated lesions showed increased activation of defensins, matrix metalloproteinases, and neuropeptides, which may be stimulated by specific inflammation pathways.
