antimicrobial secretions

How are Antimicrobial Secretions Regulated?

The production of antimicrobial secretions is tightly regulated by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic regulation involves genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that control the expression of antimicrobial molecules. Extrinsic factors include environmental stimuli such as microbial exposure and inflammatory signals, which can enhance or suppress secretion. Understanding these regulatory mechanisms is vital for developing therapies that modulate antimicrobial secretions in disease.
