Fever enhances host bacterial defense while limiting mitochondrial damage

2026-02-06

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The fever response is triggered during infection and inflammation, but the importance of this response for the function of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) remains unknown. We discovered that the activity of the human AMP LL-37 is temperature-dependent and were curious as to why. Its temperature-dependent activity is not an enzymatic accident, as AMPs from other animals with different body...
