About
Human cathelicidin-derived peptide discussed for its roles in innate immunity and tissue defense, often in experimental and niche clinical contexts.

Overview

The evidence base for LL-37 can span preclinical work, early human data, and—where applicable—larger clinical trials. The strength and maturity of that evidence determine how confidently clinicians and researchers talk about its effects.

Key evidence themes

  • Preclinical models exploring mechanisms and proof-of-concept.
  • Early human or pilot data, if available.
  • Larger controlled trials for molecules with formal indications.

Context and caveats

When reviewing literature on LL-37, it is important to consider study design, endpoints, sample size, and duration, as well as how closely study populations match real-world use. Marketing narratives frequently move faster than rigorous evidence.
