Online newspapers: the impact of culture, sex, and age on the perceived importance of specified quality factors (2004)

Beverley G. Hope, Zhiru Li

There has been a proliferation of online newspapers over recent years. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, factors affecting the quality of online newspapers remain only partially understood....

Deficient Smad7 expression: A putative molecular defect in scleroderma

Dong, Chunming, Zhu, Shoukang, Wang, Tao, Yoon, Woohyun, Li, Zhiru, Alvarez, Rene J., ...

Scleroderma is a chronic systemic disease that leads to fibrosis of affected organs. Transforming growth factor (TGF) β has been implicated in the pathogenesis of scleroderma. Smad proteins are...

Macrophage-Induced Genes of Legionella pneumophila: Protection from Reactive Intermediates and Solute Imbalance during Intracellular Growth

Rankin, Susannah, Li, Zhiru, Isberg, Ralph R.

A promoter-probe strategy was devised to identify genes specifically expressed by Legionella pneumophila during growth within the macrophage. Random fragments from the L. pneumophila chromosome were...

A Legionella pneumophila-translocated substrate that is required for growth within macrophages and protection from host cell death

Laguna, Rita K., Creasey, Elizabeth A., Li, Zhiru, Valtz, Nicole, Isberg, Ralph R.

Legionella pneumophila requires the Dot/Icm protein translocation system to replicate within host cells as a critical component of Legionnaire's pneumonia. None of the known individual substrates of...
