Squalamine and Its Aminosterol Derivatives: Overview of Biological Effects and Mechanisms of Action of Compounds with Multiple Therapeutic Applications

Nour Mammari et al.

Summary: Squalamine and its derivatives have shown potent antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoa, and antiviral activities. They also exhibit potential positive effects in cancer treatment and other diseases. This review provides an overview of the various effects of squalamine and its derivatives, as well as the mechanisms of their actions on the human organism and different pathogens.

AFM Identifies a Protein Complex Involved in Pathogen Adhesion Which Ruptures at Three Nanonewtons

Constance Chantraine et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that Staphylococci bind to von Willebrand Factor, causing endovascular infections. The protein Aap from Staphylococcus epidermidis binds to vWF with an ultrastrong force, activated by tensile loading, through specific domains, offering promise for innovative antistaphylococcal therapies.
