Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Li-song Zhang"
Zhang synthesized and evaluated imidazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives as inhibitors of PTP1B, highlighting their importance in increasing insulin sensitivity for diabetes therapy.
He explored self-assembling nanofiber probes for the real-time monitoring of caspase-3/8 activity in living cells, enhancing the study of apoptosis.
His work also includes overcoming drug resistance in cancer treatments through the design of self-assembling nanofibers combined with the chemotherapeutic agent etoposide, significantly improving its efficacy against resistant cancer cell lines.
