Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Actin
  • Cytoskeleton

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Focal adhesion, Actin cytoskeleton, Cytoskeleton and Actin. His Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Cell adhesion and Cell polarity. His study on Role of cell adhesions in neural development, Paxillin and Vinculin is often connected to PTK2 as part of broader study in Focal adhesion.

His research in Actin tackles topics such as Actin remodeling which are related to areas like Chirality and Arp2/3 complex. Alexander D. Bershadsky interconnects MDia1 and Lamellipodium in the investigation of issues within Myosin. As part of the same scientific family, Alexander D. Bershadsky usually focuses on Integrin, concentrating on Crosstalk and intersecting with Cell membrane.

His most cited work include:

  • Environmental sensing through focal adhesions (1806 citations)
  • Transmembrane crosstalk between the extracellular matrix--cytoskeleton crosstalk. (1805 citations)
  • Force and focal adhesion assembly: a close relationship studied using elastic micropatterned substrates (1780 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Cytoskeleton, Actin, Actin cytoskeleton and Focal adhesion. Alexander D. Bershadsky works mostly in the field of Cell biology, limiting it down to concerns involving Integrin and, occasionally, Podosome. In general Cytoskeleton, his work in Intermediate filament is often linked to Caldesmon linking many areas of study.

His studies in Actin integrate themes in fields like Formins, Biophysics, Stress fiber and Anatomy. His Actin cytoskeleton study improves the overall literature in Cell. His Focal adhesion research integrates issues from Extracellular matrix and Cell adhesion molecule.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (95.94%)
  • Cytoskeleton (47.21%)
  • Actin (51.27%)

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

  • Cell biology (95.94%)
  • Biophysics (35.03%)
  • Actin (51.27%)

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

Alexander D. Bershadsky mainly investigates Cell biology, Biophysics, Actin, Myosin and Formins. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Integrin and Podosome, Cytoskeleton. His research integrates issues of Cell migration, Cell type, Actin cytoskeleton, Mechanosensitive channels and Filopodia in his study of Biophysics.

His work carried out in the field of Actin brings together such families of science as Protein filament and Anatomy. In his study, Myofibril is inextricably linked to Myocyte, which falls within the broad field of Myosin. His Focal adhesion research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fibronectin and Cell adhesion molecule.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Long-range self-organization of cytoskeletal myosin II filament stacks (107 citations)
  • Long-range self-organization of cytoskeletal myosin II filament stacks (107 citations)
  • Mechanosensing Controlled Directly by Tyrosine Kinases (61 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Actin
  • Cytoskeleton

His primary scientific interests are in Actin cytoskeleton, Actin, Biophysics, Cytoskeleton and Cell biology. His Actin research includes themes of MDia1 and Formins. His Cytoskeleton study incorporates themes from Myosin II filament, Myosin head and Meromyosin.

He has researched Cell biology in several fields, including Podosome and Adherens junction. His Podosome study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Signal transducing adaptor protein, Focal adhesion, Mechanotransduction, Integrin and Microtubule. The study incorporates disciplines such as Titin, Sarcomere, Microfilament, Myofibril and Extracellular matrix in addition to Myosin.
