Differential expression of antimicrobial peptides in margins of chronic wounds

Please cite this paper as: Differential expression of antimicrobial peptides in margins of chronic wounds. Experimental Dermatology 2010; 19: 628–632. Abstract: Skin wounds usually heal without major infections, although the loss of the mechanical epithelial barrier exposes the tissue to various bacteria. One reason may be the expression of antimicrobial peptides (AMP) of which some [human β‐defensins (hBD) and LL‐37] were recently shown to...
