Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is considered as a crucial mediator in tissue fibrosis
and causes tissue scarring largely by activating its downstream small mother against …

The synthesis and study of nanostructured materials have become a major interdisciplinary
area of research over the past 20 years. Semiconductor nanoparticles play a major role in …

The investigation of two‐dimensional (2D) ferroelectrics has attracted significant interest in
recent years for applications in functional electronics. Without the limitation of a finite size …

Up-converting rare-earth nanophosphors (UCNPs) have great potential to revolutionize
biological luminescent labels, but their use has been limited by difficulties in obtaining UCNPs …

We report that chlamydiae, which are obligate intracellular bacterial pathogens, possess a
novel antiapoptotic mechanism. Chlamydia-infected host cells are profoundly resistant to …

Upconversion luminescence (UCL) imaging is expected to play a significant role in future
photoluminescence imaging since it shows advantages of sharp emission lines, long lifetimes, …

Because of the ability to selectively reveal the objects of interest with subcellular resolution,
fluorescence microscopy provides widespread applications from basic biological research to …

A series of stilbenes has been prepared and tested for cytotoxicity in the five human cancer
cell lines A-549 non-small cell lung, MCF-7 breast, HT-29 colon, SKMEL-5 melanoma, and …

Abstract Development of a multifunctional nanoparticle (NP) system allowing for dual-contrast
T 1 - and T 2 -weighted targeted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of tumors could …

With 2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-derived phosphoramidite ligand (R,R a )-L 6 , Ir-catalyzed
intramolecular C-3 allylic alkylation of indoles has been realized to afford highly …
