Hensley MR, Chua RF, Leung YF, Yang JY, Zhang G.
PMID: 27658201
PLoS One. 2016 Sep 22;11(9):e0163229. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0163229. eCollection 2016.

BACKGROUND: The mouse double minute 1 (Mdm1) gene was first reported and cloned in mouse tumor cell lines as an oncogene candidate. Later, it was found that mutation of Mdm1 might cause age-related retinal degeneration 2 in mice by...

Log-Euclidean Metrics for Contrast Preserving Decolorization.

IEEE transactions on image processing : a publication of the IEEE Signal Processing Society

Qiegen Liu, Guangpu Shao, Yuhao Wang, Junbin Gao, Leung H.
PMID: 28858795
IEEE Trans Image Process. 2017 Dec;26(12):5772-5783. doi: 10.1109/TIP.2017.2745104. Epub 2017 Aug 25.

This paper presents a novel Log-Euclidean metric inspired color-to-gray conversion model for faithfully preserving the contrast details of color image, which differs from the traditional Euclidean metric approaches. In the proposed model, motivated by the fact that Log-Euclidean metric...

Analysis of Allelic Imbalance in Rice Hybrids Under Water Stress and Association of Asymmetrically Expressed Genes with Drought-Response QTLs.

Rice (New York, N.Y.)

Ereful NC, Liu LY, Tsai E, Kao SM, Dixit S, Mauleon R, Malabanan K, Thomson M, Laurena A, Lee D, Mackay I, Greenland A, Powell W, Leung H.
PMID: 27671164
Rice (N Y). 2016 Dec;9(1):50. doi: 10.1186/s12284-016-0123-4. Epub 2016 Sep 26.

BACKGROUND: Information on the effect of stress on the allele-specific expression (ASE) profile of rice hybrids is limited. More so, the association of allelically imbalanced genes to important traits is yet to be understood. Here we assessed allelic imbalance...

Heterobimetallic cerium(iv) oxo clusters supported by a tripodal oxygen ligand.

Dalton transactions (Cambridge, England : 2003)

Heterometallic Ce(IV)/M (M = Mo(VI), Re(VII), V(V)) oxo clusters supported by the Kläui tripodal oxygen ligand [(η(5)-C5H5)Co{P(O)(OEt)2}3](-) (LOEt(-)) have been synthesized and structurally characterized, and the catalytic activity of the Ce(IV)/V(V) oxo cluster in the oxidation of thioanisoles has...

Neurochemicals involved in medullary control of common carotid blood flow.

Current neuropharmacology

Gong CL, Leung YM, Wang MR, Lin NN, Lee TJ, Kuo JS.
PMID: 24403875
Curr Neuropharmacol. 2013 Sep;11(5):513-20. doi: 10.2174/1570159X113119990044.

The common carotid artery (CCA) supplies intra- and extra-cranial vascular beds. An area in the medulla controlling CCA blood flow is defined as the dorsal facial area (DFA) by Kuo et al. in 1987. In the DFA, presynaptic nitrergic...

Smart LED allocation scheme for efficient multiuser visible light communication networks.

Optics express

Sewaiwar A, Tiwari SV, Chung YH.
PMID: 26074554
Opt Express. 2015 May 18;23(10):13015-24. doi: 10.1364/OE.23.013015.

In a multiuser bidirectional visible light communication (VLC), a large number of LEDs or an LED array needs to be allocated in an efficient manner to ensure sustainable data rate and link quality. Moreover, in order to support an...

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) as a potential therapeutic target independent of PI3K/Akt signaling in prostate cancer.

Oncoscience

Choudhury Y, Yang Z, Ahmad I, Nixon C, Salt IP, Leung HY.
PMID: 25594043
Oncoscience. 2014 Jun 04;1(6):446-56. doi: 10.18632/oncoscience.49. eCollection 2014.

Depletion of cellular energy activates the AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) to favor energy-producing catabolic processes during tumorigenesis. Using a panel of in vitro cell lines and resected tumors, we investigated the therapeutic value of manipulating AMPK in prostate cancer (PC)....

Drug Screening to Treat Early-Onset Eye Diseases: Can Zebrafish Expedite the Discovery?.

Asia-Pacific journal of ophthalmology (Philadelphia, Pa.)

Zhang L, Chong L, Cho J, Liao PC, Shen F, Leung YF.
PMID: 26107731
Asia Pac J Ophthalmol (Phila). 2012 Nov-Dec;1(6):374-83. doi: 10.1097/APO.0b013e31827a9969.

The molecular basis of many early-onset eye diseases has been uncovered, but the number of available drug treatments for improving deteriorated vision is still scarce. Consequently, there is a high demand for new drugs to treat these diseases. This...

An enantioselective hydrophosphination of β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters and amides has been developed using a chiral palladacycle catalyst. Adducts can be obtained in excellent yields and enantioselectivities, providing direct access to chiral tertiary phosphines which are synthetically useful intermediates in the...
