LL-37 Research for Wound Healing

An evidence-based overview of research examining LL-37 in the context of wound healing. This page synthesizes findings from peer-reviewed literature.

Research Summary

LL-37 promotes wound healing through multiple mechanisms including stimulation of keratinocyte and fibroblast migration, angiogenesis promotion, and antimicrobial effects that protect healing tissue from infection. Studies show LL-37 deficiency impairs wound healing, while exogenous LL-37 can accelerate wound closure. The peptide is naturally upregulated in wound fluid. The wound healing effects complement the antimicrobial properties, providing both infection control and tissue repair in injured skin.
