Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Virus

Andrew A. Mercer spends much of his time researching Parapoxvirus, Virology, Virus, Gene and Molecular biology. His research combines Interleukin 2 and Parapoxvirus. The Virology study combines topics in areas such as Vaccinia and Poxviridae.

His work carried out in the field of Virus brings together such families of science as Chordopoxvirinae and Interferon. His Gene study results in a more complete grasp of Genetics. Andrew A. Mercer interconnects Vascular endothelial growth factor C, Vascular endothelial growth factor A, Nucleic acid sequence, Open reading frame and DNA fragmentation in the investigation of issues within Molecular biology.

His most cited work include:

  • Isolated lymphatic endothelial cells transduce growth, survival and migratory signals via the VEGF‐C/D receptor VEGFR‐3 (683 citations)
  • Homologs of vascular endothelial growth factor are encoded by the poxvirus orf virus. (279 citations)
  • Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-like protein from orf virus NZ2 binds to VEGFR2 and neuropilin-1. (250 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Virology, Parapoxvirus, Virus, Molecular biology and Gene. His studies deal with areas such as Immune system, Interleukin 10, Poxviridae and Orthopoxvirus as well as Virology. His studies in Parapoxvirus integrate themes in fields like Homology, Gene expression, Recombinant DNA and Virulence.

His Virus research incorporates themes from Pseudocowpox Virus, Vaccinia, Interferon and Cytokine. The concepts of his Molecular biology study are interwoven with issues in Inhibitor of apoptosis and Apoptosis. His Gene research entails a greater understanding of Genetics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (63.89%)
  • Parapoxvirus (49.07%)
  • Virus (48.15%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Virology (63.89%)
  • Parapoxvirus (49.07%)
  • Virus (48.15%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Virology, Parapoxvirus, Virus, Immunology and Inflammation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Janus kinase, Antigen, Molecular biology, Regulation of gene expression and Antibody in addition to Virology. His Parapoxvirus study deals with the bigger picture of Gene.

His Virus study frequently links to other fields, such as Vaccinia. His research in Immunology focuses on subjects like Blood vessel, which are connected to Lesion, Keratinocyte migration, Keratinocyte, Epidermal thickening and Dermis. His work deals with themes such as Myofibroblast, Angiogenesis, Pathology, Interleukin and Interleukin 10, which intersect with Inflammation.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Molecular Genetic Analysis of Orf Virus: A Poxvirus That Has Adapted to Skin (59 citations)
  • Transcriptional repression of E-cadherin by human papillomavirus type 16 E6. (52 citations)
  • The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-E encoded by orf virus regulates keratinocyte proliferation and migration and promotes epidermal regeneration (44 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Virus

Andrew A. Mercer mainly investigates Parapoxvirus, Virus, Virology, Pathology and Immune system. Andrew A. Mercer applies his multidisciplinary studies on Parapoxvirus and Chemokine binding in his research. Andrew A. Mercer has researched Virus in several fields, including Medical microbiology, Cytokine secretion, Disease, Immunopathology and Antigen presentation.

His Virology study incorporates themes from Phylogenetics and Immunology. His Pathology research includes themes of Chemokine, Granulation tissue, Bovine papular stomatitis and Bovine serum albumin. His Immune system study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cancer, Antibody and Viral replication.
