| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Description | This cluster of papers explores the diverse roles and mechanisms of antimicrobial peptides in host defense, innate immunity, and potential therapeutic applications. It covers topics such as the structure, function, and mode of action of antimicrobial peptides, their role in immune modulation, and their potential as novel antimicrobial agents. The cluster also delves into the challenges of antimicrobial resistance and the development of peptide-based therapies. |
