110,111 Non-Membrane Disrupting Mechanisms of AMPs Although the electrostatic interaction with tumor cell membrane and further disrupting action is the key of AMPs to kill the tumor cells, certain AMPs are accompanied by other mechanisms, such as inhibiting tumor DNA synthesis, destroying tumor cytoskeleton, inhibiting tumor angiogenesis, destroying tumor mitochondria, inducing tumor cell apoptosis or necrosis, and regulating immunity, as shown in Figure 3
Injections are quick, usually taking only a few minutes, with minimal discomfort
Finding evidence on how insects eliminate oxidative stress in the absence of Se-dependent glutathione peroxidase for survival or adaptations to environmental stressors is the direction of future research
