A novel Cdk9 inhibitor preferentially targets tumor cells and synergizes with fludarabine (2013)
Journal Article
Walsby, E., Pratt, G., Shao, H., Abbas, A. Y., Fischer, P., Bradshaw, T. D., …Pepper, C. (2013). A novel Cdk9 inhibitor preferentially targets tumor cells and synergizes with fludarabine. Oncotarget, 5, 375-385

Cdk9 is a key elongation factor for RNA transcription and functions by phosphorylating the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II. Here we present direct evidence that cdk9 is important for cancer cell survival and describe the characterization of th...

Paramagnetic, near-infrared fluorescent Mn-doped PbS colloidal nanocrystals (2013)
Journal Article
Turyanska, L., Moro, F., Knott, A. N., Fay, M. W., Bradshaw, T. D., & Patanè, A. (2013). Paramagnetic, near-infrared fluorescent Mn-doped PbS colloidal nanocrystals. Particle and Particle Systems Characterization, 30(11), https://doi.org/10.1002/ppsc.201300184

Mn-doped PbS colloidal nanocrystals in aqueous solution are paramagnetic and optically active in the technologically important biological window between 1.2 and 0.8 ?m. Cytoxicity studies show that exposure of human cell lines to the nanoparticles at... Read More about Paramagnetic, near-infrared fluorescent Mn-doped PbS colloidal nanocrystals.

Cuprate addition to a 6-substituted pentafulvene: preparation of sec-alkyl substituted titanocene dichlorides and their biological activity (2013)
Journal Article
