Contents: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are evolutionary conserved elements of the innate immune system -- AMPs are active against a broad spectrum of pathogens, including multidrug resistant bacteria -- Epithelial expression of AMPs is tightly regulated -- Regulation of epithelial vitamin D metabolism affects expression of AMPs -- AMPs act in a complex working environment, which is markedly altered by disease activity.
