Lovell JF, Chen J, Jarvi MT, Cao W, Allen AD, Liu Y, Tidwell TT, Wilson BC & Zheng G Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2009 The development of activatable photodynamic therapy (PDT) has demonstrated a utility for effective photosensitizer quenchers. However, little is known quantitatively about Forster resonance energy transferContinue Reading

Lo P, Chen J, Stefflova K, Warren MS, Navab R, Bandarchi B, Mullins S, Tsao M, Cheng JD & Zheng G Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2009 Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a cell-surface serine protease highly expressed on cancer-associated fibroblasts of human epithelial carcinomas but not on normal fibroblasts, normalContinue Reading

Lovell JF & Zheng G Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2008 Recent years have seen the design and implementation of many optical activatable smart probes. These probes are activatable because they change their optical properties and are smart because they can identify specific targets. This broad class of detectionContinue Reading

Stefflova K, Chen J & Zheng G Frontiers in Bioscience, 2007 Molecular beacons are essentially all probes that illuminate particular cellular target or cells with similar characteristics. In this review we focus on those molecular beacons that use near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIRF-I) to identify the unique cellular and metabolic markersContinue Reading
