Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are being researched as a potential alternative to traditional antibiotics due to their ability to break microbial membranes and fight antibiotic resistance.
- Despite their promise, natural AMPs face challenges like toxicity, limited antibacterial effectiveness, and expensive production, which hinder their use in clinical settings.
- This study focused on modifying HSP peptides, specifically optimizing factors like net charge and hydrophobicity to improve their antimicrobial properties, leading to the identification of HSP-M4 as a candidate with effective antimicrobial activity and low toxicity.
Although published studies have reported the association between MTHFR C677T (rs 1801133), A1298C (rs 1801131), and MTRR A66G (rs1801394) polymorphisms and male infertility in Asian populations, the results are conflicting. In order to accurately evaluate the relevance, a meta-analysis was performed.We searched for potential studies in 4 databases, containing PubMed, ScienceDirect, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang database until May 31, 2018.
