Self-assembly of luminescent twisted fibers based on achiral quinacridone derivatives (2009)

Zhao, Yunfeng, Fan, Yan, Mu, Xiaoyue, Gao, Hongze, Wang, Jia, Zhang, Jingying, ...

It is a great challenge to spontaneously assemble achiral molecules into twisted nanostructures in the absence of chiral substances. Here we show that two achiral centrosymmetric quinacridone (QA)...

Ras mutation promotes p53 activation and apoptosis of skin keratinocytes (2006)

Zhao, Yunfeng, Chaiswing, Luksana, Bakthavatchalu, Vasudevan, Oberley, Terry D., St. Clair, Daret K.

Previous studies in our laboratory demonstrated that DMBA/TPA treatment induced apoptosis and mitochondrial translocation of the tumor suppressor p53 in a mouse skin carcinogenesis model, suggesting...

Ras mutation promotes p53 activation and apoptosis of skin keratinocytes (2006)

Zhao, Yunfeng, Chaiswing, Luksana, Bakthavatchalu, Vasudevan, Oberley, Terry D., St. Clair, Daret K.

Previous studies in our laboratory demonstrated that 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene/12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (DMBA/TPA) treatment induced apoptosis and mitochondrial translocation of the...

Protandim, a Fundamentally New Antioxidant Approach in Chemoprevention Using Mouse Two-Stage Skin Carcinogenesis as a Model

Liu, Jianfeng, Gu, Xin, Robbins, Delira, Li, Guohong, Shi, Runhua, McCord, Joe M., ...

Oxidative stress is an important contributor to cancer development. Consistent with that, antioxidant enzymes have been demonstrated to suppress tumorigenesis when being elevated both in vitro and in...
