Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Shu-qiu Zhang"
- Shu-qiu Zhang's research focuses on the mechanisms of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and their implications in both cellular processes, such as apoptosis and cell cycle regulation, specifically in the context of natural compounds like xanthohumol from hops.
- A significant portion of Zhang’s work involves the study of Plasmodium falciparum, employing innovative methods for synchronizing its growth cycles in vitro to facilitate better evaluation of antimalarial drugs and gene expression profiling after treatments, like dihydroartemisinin.
- Additionally, Zhang has contributed to pharmacokinetic studies and analytical methods, including the development of HPLC-APCI-MS/MS techniques for quantifying antitumor compounds and other drugs in biological samples, enhancing the understanding of their distribution and efficacy.
