Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Immune system

Albert Descoteaux mainly investigates Cell biology, Lipophosphoglycan, Leishmania donovani, Leishmania and Phagosome. He frequently studies issues relating to Pyrin domain and Cell biology. He has researched Lipophosphoglycan in several fields, including Biochemistry, Mutant and Virulence.

His studies deal with areas such as Infectivity and Macrophage as well as Leishmania. His Macrophage research integrates issues from Leishmaniasis, Protozoa, Microbiology, Proinflammatory cytokine and Innate immune system. His Phagosome research focuses on Vacuole and how it connects with Phagosome maturation.

His most cited work include:

  • Macrophage cytokines: involvement in immunity and infectious diseases. (987 citations)
  • The lipophosphoglycan of Leishmania parasites (421 citations)
  • Malarial Hemozoin Activates the NLRP3 Inflammasome through Lyn and Syk Kinases (269 citations)

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

Albert Descoteaux spends much of his time researching Cell biology, Leishmania, Lipophosphoglycan, Leishmania donovani and Phagosome. His Cell biology study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Macrophage. His Leishmania research includes themes of Visceral leishmaniasis, Leishmaniasis, Vacuole and Virology.

His Lipophosphoglycan study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Leishmania infantum, Biochemistry, Mutant, Microbiology and Virulence. His work deals with themes such as Glycoconjugate, Amastigote and Actin, which intersect with Leishmania donovani. Albert Descoteaux focuses mostly in the field of Phagosome, narrowing it down to topics relating to Endosome and, in certain cases, Lipid bilayer fusion.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (58.10%)
  • Leishmania (42.86%)
  • Lipophosphoglycan (44.76%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Lipophosphoglycan (44.76%)
  • Leishmania (42.86%)
  • Cell biology (58.10%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Lipophosphoglycan, Leishmania, Cell biology, Microbiology and Phagosome. His Lipophosphoglycan research incorporates elements of Leishmania infantum and Virulence. His studies in Leishmania integrate themes in fields like Phenotype, Phenotypic screening, Leishmaniasis, Vacuole and Drug discovery.

Albert Descoteaux combines subjects such as Cytokine, Biogenesis, Macrophage and Leishmania donovani with his study of Cell biology. His Macrophage study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as TLR2, Immune system, Innate immune system and Vector. His study looks at the relationship between Phagosome and fields such as Secretory pathway, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (4th edition) (38 citations)
  • The host cell secretory pathway mediates the export of Leishmania virulence factors out of the parasitophorous vacuole. (14 citations)
  • Leishmania donovani Induces Autophagy in Human Blood-Derived Neutrophils. (14 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Immune system

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Lipophosphoglycan, Cell biology, Virulence, Leishmania and Macrophage. His research on Lipophosphoglycan often connects related areas such as Golgi apparatus. Cell biology and Leishmania donovani are commonly linked in his work.

As part of the same scientific family, Albert Descoteaux usually focuses on Leishmania donovani, concentrating on CD47 and intersecting with Autophagy. His Virulence research incorporates themes from Phagosome, Endoplasmic reticulum, Microbiology and Effector. His Macrophage research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of T cell, JAK-STAT signaling pathway and Cytokine.
