"Anti-Amyloid & Anti-Infective Peptoid Mimics of LL-37"

Alzheimer’s dementia can be caused by (or at least, accompanied by) polymicrobial cerebral infections, a phenomenon receiving renewed attention given recent discoveries. The Barron lab is working to develop biostable peptoid mimics of LL-37 as therapeutics that can combat antibiotic-resistant infections, especially cerebral infections, which also bind to and block the fibril and plaque formation of Alzheimer’s-associated ABeta peptides.

Very interesting and important. What natural compounds could help up-regulate LL-37. Vitamin D? Maybe flavonoids? And possibly 1-3, 1-6 beta b glucans to support the innate immune system?
