Reviving the guardian of the genome: Small molecule activators of p53

Daniel Nguyen, Wenjuan Liao, Shelya X. Zeng, Hua Lu

Pharmacology & Therapeutics > 2017 > 178 > C > 92-108

The tumor suppressor p53 is one of the most important proteins for protection of genomic stability and cancer prevention. Cancers often inactivate it by either mutating its gene or disabling its function. Thus, activating p53 becomes an attractive approach for the development of molecule-based anti-cancer therapy. The past decade and half have witnessed tremendous progress in this area. This essay...

Polyvinyl alcohol gelation: A structural locking-up agent and carbon source for Si/CNT/C composites as high energy lithium ion battery anode

Dingqiong Chen, Wenjuan Liao, Yang Yang, Jinbao Zhao

Journal of Power Sources > 2016 > 315 > C > 236-241

A novel polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel method is developed to synthesize Si/CNT/C composites. The Si nanoparticles and CNTs are ‘position’ locked up by PVA hydrogel in a simple aqueous solution process, and then the Si-CNT-PVA hydrogel has pyrolyzed to form Si/CNT/C composites. In this unique structured Si/CNT/C composites, the CNTs form a porous network acting both as conductive agent for electron...

19‐5L: Late‐News Paper: Perceptually Optimized Dual‐layer Light Field 3D Display Using a Moiré‐aware Compressive Factorization

Wenjuan Liao, Shizheng Wang, Mingyu Sun, Phil Surman, more

SID Symposium Digest of Technical Papers > 47 > 1 > 235 - 238

In this paper we propose a rotation angle‐based perceptual optimization framework for dual‐layer light field 3D displays. The whole framework flow can be divided into two phases; first, the moiré pattern is simulated based on the rotation angle and a moiré cost for visual perception is calculated and second, the moiré cost is further incorporated into the final optimization of the proposed compressive...

Leilei Cheng, Long Zhai, Wenjuan Liao, Xuan Huang, more

Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering > 2014 > 2 > 3 > 1236-1242

Prepared chrysotile nanotubes (ChNTs) were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N ₂ adsorption•desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). ChNTs were employed to investigate the inﬂuence of various experimental parameters on thorium adsorption. Some isotherm...

Electrochemical degradation and mechanistic analysis of microcystin‐LR

Yanrong Zhang, Ying Zhang, Nan Yang, Wenjuan Liao, more

Journal of Chemical Technology & Biotechnology > 88 > 8 > 1529 - 1537

BackgroundMicrocystin‐LR (MC‐LR) is very stable under natural sunlight and resistant to high temperatures and UV radiation. Conventional treatment techniques are found to be inefficient in removing these toxins from potable water systems. Advanced oxidation technologies (AOTs) are considered a promising technique for the destruction of microcystins. Among the various AOTs, electrochemical oxidation (EO) has been proved to be very successful in degrading the organic pollutants. The purpose of this study was therefore, to determine the feasibility of MC‐LR removal and its mechanism by EO. The effect of operational parameters on the degradation efficiency of MC‐LR has been studied...
