Les quiero contar sobre unas TRAMPAS contra bacterias, virus y hongos que están ESCONDIDAS en varias superficies de nuestro cuerpo

Se llaman PÉPTIDOS ANTIMICROBIANOS🦠 y también son parte del sistema inmunitario

Los péptidos antimicrobianos (AMP, por sus siglas en inglés) se descubrieron en los años 60 gracias a investigaciones hechas en las preciosas pero mortales #ranitas moteadas del género Bombina¹ 🐸

Debemos decir que los AMP no son exclusivos del #SerHumano, ni siquiera de los vertebrados, ya que los podemos encontrar desde microorganismos, hasta #plantas 🪴 e invertebrados (como #insectos)🦋

1/ This excellent study by @aaronmring/@VirusesImmunity and team found that COVID-19 patients exhibit dramatic increases in the production of antibodies against thousands of human extracellular and secreted proteins (the exoproteome) compared to controls 👇
2/ The million dollar question is: what molecular mechanisms underly this antibody/#autoantibody production? It is worth interpreting the findings via the lens of human #microbiome/#virome activity + the activity of persistent pathogens (such as EBV) harbored by study subjects.
3/ Every study subject harbored extensive microbiome/virome communities comprised of trillions of organisms during #COVID-19 infection…with such ecosystems now understood to persist beyond just the gut but also in other body sites (#lung, liver etc).
