What is LL‑37?
LL‑37 is a naturally occurring cationic antimicrobial peptide belonging to the cathelicidin family. It is studied for its role in innate immune defense, inflammation modulation, and tissue repair signaling. Research focuses on its ability to influence microbial defense pathways, cytokine activity, and epithelial barrier maintenance.
What it does / research shows
Preclinical studies indicate LL‑37 exhibits broad antimicrobial activity against bacteria, viruses, and fungi, while also modulating immune signaling to reduce excessive inflammation. Research also suggests it supports wound healing, tissue regeneration, and epithelial cell proliferation. It may influence chemotactic pathways, aiding immune cell recruitment to stressed or injured tissues, and has been studied in contexts of surgical tissue repair and post-operative healing.
Why motorcycle racers might find it interesting
Riders are frequently exposed to minor abrasions, cuts, environmental stressors, and sometimes require surgical interventions from injuries. Research into LL‑37 may be of interest for studying immune system resilience, wound healing, post-surgical tissue recovery, and maintenance of tissue integrity following physical stress or injury.
