Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

Adrian K. West mostly deals with Neuroscience, Metallothionein, Regeneration, Olfactory ensheathing glia and Cell biology. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Phenotype, Antioxidant and Function. His studies in Metallothionein integrate themes in fields like In vitro and Gene isoform.

As part of one scientific family, Adrian K. West deals mainly with the area of Regeneration, narrowing it down to issues related to the Central nervous system, and often Extracellular, Anatomy and Lesion. His Olfactory ensheathing glia research incorporates elements of Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, Olfactory nerve and Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, Neurturin. His research on Cell biology frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Neurotrophic factors.

His most cited work include:

  • Cultured olfactory ensheathing cells express nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, glia cell line-derived neurotrophic factor and their receptors. (277 citations)
  • Human metallothionein genes: structure of the functional locus at 16q13. (166 citations)
  • Zn(II)‐ and Cu(II)‐induced non‐fibrillar aggregates of amyloid‐β (1–42) peptide are transformed to amyloid fibrils, both spontaneously and under the influence of metal chelators (148 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Neuroscience, Cell biology, Metallothionein, Olfactory ensheathing glia and Central nervous system are his primary areas of study. His Neuroscience study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Disease and Pathology. As a member of one scientific family, Adrian K. West mostly works in the field of Cell biology, focusing on Neurite and, on occasion, Sprouting.

His Metallothionein study incorporates themes from Molecular biology and Gene isoform. His work carried out in the field of Olfactory ensheathing glia brings together such families of science as Innate immune system, Olfactory system, Olfactory mucosa and Spinal cord. His Central nervous system research includes themes of Excitotoxicity, Anatomy, Microglia and Regeneration.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (49.73%)
  • Cell biology (28.96%)
  • Metallothionein (28.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Cell biology (28.96%)
  • Neuroscience (49.73%)
  • Metallothionein (28.42%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Neuroscience, Metallothionein, Growth cone and Receptor. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Neurodegeneration and Fragmentation. His work on Olfactory ensheathing glia as part of his general Neuroscience study is frequently connected to Mutant sod1, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

Adrian K. West combines subjects such as Olfactory system, Olfactory epithelium, Olfactory mucosa and Nasal cavity with his study of Olfactory ensheathing glia. His Metallothionein study combines topics in areas such as Internal medicine, Neuroprotection, Intracellular and Endocrinology. His studies deal with areas such as Chemotaxis, Immunology, Axon guidance, Signal transduction and Peripheral nervous system as well as Growth cone.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • A New Method for Targeted and Sustained Induction of Type 2 Diabetes in Rodents (63 citations)
  • Cytokines and olfactory bulb microglia in response to bacterial challenge in the compromised primary olfactory pathway (42 citations)
  • Cytokines and olfactory bulb microglia in response to bacterial challenge in the compromised primary olfactory pathway (42 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

Adrian K. West focuses on Neuroscience, Olfactory ensheathing glia, Central nervous system, Microglia and Astrocyte. The various areas that Adrian K. West examines in his Neuroscience study include Neuroinflammation and Disease. His research in Olfactory ensheathing glia intersects with topics in Olfactory system, Olfactory epithelium, Olfactory mucosa and Nasal cavity.

While the research belongs to areas of Central nervous system, he spends his time largely on the problem of Soma, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Receptor and Cell biology. His Cell signaling study in the realm of Cell biology connects with subjects such as LRP1. His Astrocyte research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Neuroglia, Transplantation and Nervous system.
