Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • DNA

His primary areas of investigation include Calcitriol receptor, Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Molecular biology and Cancer research. His studies in Calcitriol receptor integrate themes in fields like Wnt signaling pathway, Downregulation and upregulation and Transcription factor. Alberto Muñoz interconnects Colorectal cancer and Hedgehog signaling pathway in the investigation of issues within Wnt signaling pathway.

His research in Endocrinology intersects with topics in Messenger RNA, Gene expression and Northern blot. Alberto Muñoz has researched Molecular biology in several fields, including Cellular differentiation, Gene knockdown, Myogenesis, Cell activation and Transcription. The concepts of his Cancer research study are interwoven with issues in Cancer, Thyroid hormone receptor, Receptor, Apoptosis and Thyroid hormone receptor beta.

His most cited work include:

  • The c-erb-A protein is a high-affinity receptor for thyroid hormone (1115 citations)
  • Vitamin D3 promotes the differentiation of colon carcinoma cells by the induction of E-cadherin and the inhibition of β-catenin signaling (649 citations)
  • Repression of transcription mediated at a thyroid hormone response element by the v- erb-A oncogene product (325 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Cancer research, Cell biology, Endocrinology and Molecular biology. He combines subjects such as Wnt signaling pathway, Carcinogenesis, Apoptosis, Colorectal cancer and Kinase with his study of Cancer research. His research on Endocrinology frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Gene expression.

His study in Molecular biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Thyroid hormone receptor and Regulation of gene expression. His work deals with themes such as Hormone receptor and Thyroid hormone receptor alpha, which intersect with Thyroid hormone receptor. His Calcitriol receptor research includes elements of Transcription factor, Signal transduction and Downregulation and upregulation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (23.85%)
  • Cancer research (20.05%)
  • Cell biology (20.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Cell biology (20.05%)
  • Cancer research (20.05%)
  • Wnt signaling pathway (12.74%)

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

Cell biology, Cancer research, Wnt signaling pathway, Colorectal cancer and Ecology are his primary areas of study. His work in Cell biology tackles topics such as Cell culture which are related to areas like Prostaglandin, Apoptosis and Cytotoxic T cell. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Calcitriol, Vitamin D and neurology, vitamin D deficiency, Organoid and Stem cell.

His study on vitamin D deficiency is covered under Internal medicine. His work carried out in the field of Wnt signaling pathway brings together such families of science as Phenotype, Cellular differentiation and Cell growth. His research investigates the connection between Calcitriol receptor and topics such as Immune system that intersect with issues in Intracrine, Autocrine signalling, Endocrinology, Small intestine and Gut flora.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Vitamin D receptor expression and associated gene signature in tumour stromal fibroblasts predict clinical outcome in colorectal cancer (55 citations)
  • The endocrine vitamin D system in the gut. (53 citations)
  • Mechanisms of action of vitamin D in colon cancer (33 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • DNA

His primary areas of study are Cancer research, Vitamin D and neurology, Calcitriol receptor, Cell biology and Ecology. His Cancer research research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Colorectal cancer, Signal transduction, Immunology and Organoid. His Vitamin D and neurology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Transcription, Gene, Cell adhesion and Immune system.

His Calcitriol receptor study combines topics in areas such as Inducer, Psychological repression, Intracrine and Gut flora. The study incorporates disciplines such as Epithelial–mesenchymal transition and Genetics in addition to Cell biology. The vitamin D deficiency portion of his research involves studies in Internal medicine and Endocrinology.
