Image: The five stages of biofilm development: (1) Initial attachment, (2) Irreversible attachment, (3) Maturation I, (4) Maturation II, and (5) Dispersion. Each stage of development in the diagram is paired with a photomicrograph of a developing P. aeruginosa biofilm. All photomicrographs are shown to same scale (Photo courtesy of Wikimedia Commons).

Ionic Liquids Disperse Bacterial Biofilms and Increase Antibiotic Susceptibility

The ionic liquid choline-geranate was shown to effectively eliminate the protective biofilm generated by bacteria such as Salmonella enterica and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and to significantly increase the susceptibility of these microorganisms to antibiotic treatment.  More...

Note the much narrowed lung artery, and thick walls and larger chamber of the heart in the diseased animal and improvements with 4F peptide treatment (Photo courtesy of UCLA - University of California, Los Angeles).

Apolipoprotein A-1 Mimetic Peptide Reverses Pulmonary Hypertension in Rodent Models

A small peptide that mimics the activity of apolipoprotein A-1, the main protein component of the high density lipoproteins, counteracted the effects of oxidized lipids and alleviated symptoms of pulmonary arterial hypertension in a population of laboratory animals.   More...
