Gandhy, Shruti (May 2013)Specificity protein transcription factors, Spl, Sp3 and Sp4 are overexpressed in multiple cancer cell lines and tumor types and Sp-regulated genes play an important role in cancer cell proliferation, survival, angiogenesis ...
-
Verkhoturov, Dmitriy S (2020-08-28)Nanoscale toxins and pollutants such as ultrafine particles and metals from the environment can enter the human body and interact with host membrane proteins disrupting normal metabolism either directly or by causing changes ...

Banerjee, Nivedita (2011-10-21)Although nano-sized metal colloids are used in industrial and medicinal applications, little is known about the potential liver toxicity of these materials after occupational or intentional exposures. To begin to resolve ...
-
Johnson, Gregory Andrew (2013-07-30)Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and photosensitizers (PS) have gained attention as potential alternatives to traditional antibiotics for the treatment of microbial infection due to the decreased likelihood for acquired ...
