AIMS
The potential receptor for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) remains unknown.
RESULTS
H2S could directly activate vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and that a small interfering RNA… Expand

An efficient shotgun lipidomics strategy was established and optimized for fast phospholipid profiling of viscera from three fish species: Lateolabrax japonicas, Ctenopharyngodon idellus, and… Expand
Metabonomic and metallomic profiling in the amniotic fluid of malnourished pregnant rats.
Epidemiology and studies in animal models have revealed that prenatal malnutrition is highly correlated with abnormal fetal neurodevelopment. We present here a combined metabonomic and metallomic… Expand
Rapid determination of caffeoylquinic acid derivatives in Cynara scolymus L. by ultra-fast liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry based on a fused core C18 column.
An ultra-fast high-performance LC-ESI-MS/MS method was developed for the analysis and quantification of caffeoylquinic acid derivatives, including chlorogenic acid, 1,3-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid… Expand
Enhanced immunocompatibility of ligand-targeted liposomes by attenuating natural IgM absorption
Targeting ligands are anticipated to facilitate the precise delivery of therapeutic agents to diseased tissues; however, they may also severely affect the interaction of nanocarriers with plasma… Expand
