A review published in Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology indicated that antimicrobial peptides are used as pharmacological agents to modulate the immune response, promote wound healing and prevent post-surgical adhesions
In this case, the intermolecular interactions are similar in strength in the mixed and unmixed states, so the increase in entropy causes the substances to mix
Furthermore, research by Sikiric et al
Experimentally it has been demonstrated to accelerate the healing of many different wounds, including tendons, muscles, nervous system and superior healing of damaged ligaments
When bypassed via injection, or when very high concentrations are used topically over large surface areas, this regulatory mechanism is skipped
It is ubiquitous in living systems
