LL-37
Research context
Cathelicidin literature examines LL-37-related epithelial biology using organ-cultured human skin and measurements of re-epithelialization.
What has been studied
- Human skin measurements
- Ex vivo organ culture
Heilborn et al. (2003) measured hCAP18/LL-37 in wounded human skin and in chronic-ulcer epithelium, and used organ-cultured human skin as an ex vivo model. In that culture, antibodies directed at LL-37 were applied and re-epithelialization was recorded.
These labels restate the setting of the cited paper. They are not new findings and do not describe a catalog material.

What remains uncertain
Limitations
An ex vivo skin model is not a clinical efficacy or safety study. This reference does not establish a topical or other human-use application.
