New Biomacromolecules paper on membrane-binding activity of human peptide LL37
Recent Camesano lab PhD graduate, Lindsay Lozeau, is the first author of a new publication in the ACS journal, Biomacromolecules, on the membrane-binding activity of the human antimicrobial peptide LL37. This study was a collaboration with Professor Marsha Rolle from Biomedical Engineering, and Professor Nima Rahbar and post-doc Sina Youssefian from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at WPI.
Antimicrobial peptides, such as LL37, have the potential to augment or replace antibiotic therapies for the treatment of many types of infections. In this study, the focus was on developing the technology for the treatment of chronic wounds.
