Overview

Andre Fischer is a researcher affiliated with the University of Göttingen in Germany. Their primary area of work lies within Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, contributing to 177 publications in this broad domain. They have also made significant contributions to several subfields, including Molecular Biology, Cancer Research, Neurology, Computational Mechanics, and Physiology.

A key focus of Fischer's research involves molecular mechanisms related to RNA regulation and disease. Notable topics covered in their work include microRNA in disease regulation, RNA research and splicing, RNA modifications and cancer, cancer-related molecular mechanisms, circular RNAs in diseases, as well as epigenetics and DNA methylation.

Their frequent publication venues reflect this spectrum of interest and include:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Alzheimer's & Dementia
  • EMBO Molecular Medicine
  • Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power
  • Nature Communications

Andre Fischer collaborates regularly with several co-authors, who frequently appear alongside them in scientific papers. These include D. Krüger, Lalit Kaurani, Farahnaz Sananbenesi, Susanne Burkhardt, and M. Sadman Sakib.

Their recent published papers provide insight into the scope of their research interests, such as:

  • "Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer disease" (2024), published in Nature reviews. Immunology
  • "Developmental GABA polarity switch and neuronal plasticity in Bioengineered Neuronal Organoids" (2020), published in Nature Communications
  • "Neuronal extracellular vesicles and associated microRNAs induce circuit connectivity downstream BDNF" (2023), published in Cell Reports
  • "Formation of memory assemblies through the DNA-sensing TLR9 pathway" (2024), published in Nature
  • "A microRNA signature that correlates with cognition and is a target against cognitive decline" (2021), published in EMBO Molecular Medicine

These publications underscore Fischer's engagement with neurobiology, molecular signaling, and the genetic regulation of cognition and neurodegenerative diseases. Their research encompasses experimental and translational approaches in both basic and applied biomedical science contexts.
