Core Tip Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent promising next-generation therapeutics that counter antimicrobial resistance through membrane disruption, immune modulation, and microbiome regulation. Their dual role in host defense and tissue homeostasis- particularly within gastrointestinal environments-underscores their broader physiological significance. Advances in artificial intelligence-driven peptide design and nanotechnology-based delivery systems are progressively addressing pharmacokinetic limitations and enhancing clinical viability. However, challenges including cytotoxicity, proteolytic instability, and high production costs remain. Integrating bioengineering, precision medicine, and microbiome-guided strategies holds considerable potential for establishing AMPs as personalized, clinically translatable anti-infective and immunomodulatory therapeutics.
