The yin and yang of human Beta-defensins in health and disease.

Frontiers in immunology

Weinberg A, Jin G, Sieg S, McCormick TS.
PMID: 23060878
Front Immunol. 2012 Oct 08;3:294. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2012.00294. eCollection 2012.

Rapidly evolving research examining the extended role of human beta-defensins (hBDs) in chemoattraction, innate immune-mediated response, and promotion of angiogenesis suggest that the collective effects of hBDs extend well beyond their antimicrobial mechanism(s). Indeed, the numerous basic cellular functions...

Conceptual Perspectives: Bacterial Antimicrobial Peptide Induction as a Novel Strategy for Symbiosis with the Human Host.

Frontiers in microbiology

Ghosh SK, Feng Z, Fujioka H, Lux R, McCormick TS, Weinberg A.
PMID: 29535688
Front Microbiol. 2018 Feb 26;9:302. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.00302. eCollection 2018.

Human beta defensins (hBDs) are small cationic peptides, expressed in mucosal epithelia and important agents of innate immunity, act as antimicrobial and chemotactic agents at mucosal barriers. In this perspective, we present evidence supporting a novel strategy by which...

The Denture-Associated Oral Microbiome in Health and Stomatitis.

Shi B, Wu T, McLean J, Edlund A, Young Y, He X, Lv H, Zhou X, Shi W, Li H, Lux R.
PMID: 28066812
mSphere. 2016 Dec 28;1(6). doi: 10.1128/mSphere.00215-16. eCollection 2016.

While investigation of the microbiome on natural oral surfaces has generated a wealth of information, few studies have examined the microbial communities colonizing dentures and their relationship to oral health. To address this knowledge gap, we characterized the bacterial...
