Highlights

  • Cathelicidins have been defined to play multiple roles in immunity contributing to both resolution of infections and inflammation

  • The molecular mechanisms governing the multiple functions of these peptides in immunity is very complex, involving various signaling pathways and multiple ­transcription factors, and is influenced by

  • Establishing the immune-regulatory properties of HDPs such as cathelicidins and exploring their potential as immunomodulatory therapeutics represents an exciting avenue of research that is growing rapidly
