Article Synopsis
- Human β-defensin 3 (HBD-3) is a small peptide that has antimicrobial properties and helps regulate the immune system, interacting with various receptors in the body.* -
- The study focuses on improving the synthesis of HBD-3 through a refined solid-phase method and using specific techniques to reduce issues like chain aggregation.* -
- The researchers also explored an alternative method that substitutes a disulfide bond with a diselenide bond, enhancing the peptide's folding, which could lead to better understanding and applications of HBD-3 in medicine.*
Cancer is one of the most common cause of death nowadays. Thorough knowledge of the mechanisms of tumorigenesis and invasiveness of tumor cells is crucial for the development of molecular targeted therapies, which are believed to be future treatment of this type of diseases. Proteolytic enzymes are one of the factors involved in the development of cancer cells, very often used as markers of tumor progression.
