Research Applications:

LL-37 is extensively studied in preclinical research for its antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties, which support overall health by combating microbial infections and regulating immune responses in cellular and animal models. Investigations focus on its role in promoting wound healing and tissue repair, critical for muscle recovery after injury or exercise-induced damage. Research also explores its potential to modulate inflammation, which may indirectly support weight management by addressing obesity-related chronic inflammation. Its ability to stimulate angiogenesis and collagen synthesis makes LL-37 a key compound for studying muscle repair, immune health, and metabolic homeostasis.
