This study found that DEFB1 polymorphisms, specifically the rs1800972 CG and GG genotypes, may predict susceptibility to and severity of alopecia areata.

In this case-control study, the researchers found that human beta-defensin 1 concentration was not a significant predictor of alopecia areata susceptibility or severity.

In this study, researchers found that intestine-derived human alpha defensin 5 enhances wound healing, reduces bacterial load, and promotes hair growth in murine burn wound beds by increasing LGR stem cell migration.

This study found that psoriatic skin lesions commonly express the cytokines IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha along with a moderate presence of the antimicrobial protein defensin.

This review discusses the role of defensin peptides in stem cell activation for potential skin rejuvenation therapies and reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the need for further studies.
