Exponential Attenuation of Through-Bond Transmission in a Polyene: Theory and Potential Realizations.

ACS nano

Tsuji Y, Movassagh R, Datta S, Hoffmann R.
PMID: 26390251
ACS Nano. 2015 Nov 24;9(11):11109-20. doi: 10.1021/acsnano.5b04615. Epub 2015 Sep 29.

An exponential falloff with separation of electron transfer and transport through molecular wires is observed and has attracted theoretical attention. In this study, the attenuation of transmission in linear and cyclic polyenes is related to bond alternation. The explicit...

Electrophilic Carbonyl Activation: Competing Condensative Cyclizations of Tryptamine Derivatives.

Tetrahedron letters

Liu F, Movassaghi M.
PMID: 26120209
Tetrahedron Lett. 2015 Jun 03;56(23):2995-3000. doi: 10.1016/j.tetlet.2014.09.022.

A series of tryptamine derived bisindole substrates were subject to electrophilic activation of the functional grouping at their alpha-nitrogen in the form of iminium ions to enable cyclization onto the sterically hindered indole substructure. Our observations regarding divergent cyclization...

Genotyping of Clostridium perfringens isolated from healthy and diseased ostriches (Struthio camelus).

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Clostridium perfringens is more prevalent type of clostridia genus isolated from the intestinal tract of ostrich (Struthio camelus). Necrotic enteritis (NE) is a potentially fatal gastrointestinal (GI) disease of poultry and other avian species, which produces...

Total synthesis of all (-)-Agelastatin alkaloids.

Chemical science

Movassaghi M, Siegel DS, Han S.
PMID: 21218186
Chem Sci. 2010 Jan 01;1:561-566. doi: 10.1039/c0sc00351d.

The pyrrole-imidazole family of marine alkaloids, derived from linear clathrodin-like precursors, constitutes a diverse array of structurally complex natural products. The bioactive agelastatins are members of this family that possess a tetracyclic molecular framework incorporating C4-C8 and C7-N12 bond...

High-throughput sequencing identifies STAT3 as the DNA-associated factor for p53-NF-kappaB-complex-dependent gene expression in human heart failure.

Genome medicine

Choy MK, Movassagh M, Siggens L, Vujic A, Goddard M, Sánchez A, Perkins N, Figg N, Bennett M, Carroll J, Foo R.
PMID: 20546595
Genome Med. 2010 Jun 14;2(6):37. doi: 10.1186/gm158.

BACKGROUND: Genome-wide maps of DNA regulatory elements and their interaction with transcription factors may form a framework for understanding regulatory circuits and gene expression control in human disease, but how these networks, comprising transcription factors and DNA-binding proteins, form...

Criticality without frustration for quantum spin-1 chains.

Physical review letters

Bravyi S, Caha L, Movassagh R, Nagaj D, Shor PW.
PMID: 23215521
Phys Rev Lett. 2012 Nov 16;109(20):207202. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.109.207202. Epub 2012 Nov 16.

Frustration-free (FF) spin chains have a property that their ground state minimizes all individual terms in the chain Hamiltonian. We ask how entangled the ground state of a FF quantum spin-s chain with nearest-neighbor interactions can be for small...

IgE induces proliferation in human airway smooth muscle cells: role of MAPK and STAT3 pathways.

Allergy, asthma, and clinical immunology : official journal of the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology

Redhu NS, Shan L, Al-Subait D, Ashdown HL, Movassagh H, Lamkhioued B, Gounni AS.
PMID: 24499258
Allergy Asthma Clin Immunol. 2013 Oct 17;9(1):41. doi: 10.1186/1710-1492-9-41.

Airway remodeling is not specifically targeted by current asthma medications, partly owing to the lack of understanding of remodeling mechanisms, altogether posing great challenges in asthma treatment. Increased airway smooth muscle (ASM) mass due to hyperplasia/hypertrophy contributes significantly to...

Pentoxifylline Protects the Rat Liver Against Fibrosis and Apoptosis Induced by Acute Administration of 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA or Ecstasy).

Iranian journal of basic medical sciences

Movassaghi S, Nadia Sharifi Z, Mohammadzadeh F, Soleimani M.
PMID: 24106597
Iran J Basic Med Sci. 2013 Aug;16(8):922-7.

OBJECTIVE(S): 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is one of the most popular drugs of abuse in the world with hallucinogenic properties that has been shown to induce apoptosis in liver cells. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of pentoxifylline (PTX)...

Effect of Pentoxifylline on Ischemia- induced Brain Damage and Spatial Memory Impairment in Rat.

Iranian journal of basic medical sciences

Movassaghi S, Nadia Sharifi Z, Soleimani M, Joghataii MT, Hashemi M, Shafaroodi H, Mehdizadeh M.
PMID: 23493977
Iran J Basic Med Sci. 2012 Sep;15(5):1083-90.

OBJECTIVES: The brief interruption of cerebral blood flow causes permanent brain damage and behavioral dysfunction. The hippocampus is highly vulnerable to ischemic insults, particularly the CA1 pyramidal cell layer. There is no effective pharmacological strategy for improving brain tissue...

Stability of Periodically Driven Topological Phases against Disorder.

Physical review letters

Shtanko O, Movassagh R.
PMID: 30296124
Phys Rev Lett. 2018 Sep 21;121(12):126803. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.126803.

In recent experiments, time-dependent periodic fields are used to create exotic topological phases of matter with potential applications ranging from quantum transport to quantum computing. These nonequilibrium states, at high driving frequencies, exhibit the quintessential robustness against local disorder...
