Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • DNA

Anu Suomalainen focuses on Mitochondrial DNA, Genetics, Mitochondrial disease, Mitochondrion and Mitochondrial myopathy. Her research integrates issues of Endocrinology, Molecular biology, Ataxia, Internal medicine and Respiratory chain in her study of Mitochondrial DNA. The various areas that she examines in her Mitochondrial disease study include Compound heterozygosity and Mitochondrial respiratory chain.

Mitochondrion is a subfield of Cell biology that Anu Suomalainen investigates. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Organism, Apoptosis, mitochondrial fusion, Disease and Cellular compartment. Her biological study deals with issues like Mitochondrial biogenesis, which deal with fields such as Mitochondrial unfolded protein response, Ketogenic diet, DNAJA3 and Ketone bodies.

Her most cited work include:

  • Mitochondria: In Sickness and in Health (1467 citations)
  • Mitochondria: In Sickness and in Health (1467 citations)
  • Human mitochondrial DNA deletions associated with mutations in the gene encoding Twinkle, a phage T7 gene 4-like protein localized in mitochondria. (715 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Mitochondrial DNA, Genetics, Mitochondrial disease, Mitochondrion and Molecular biology. She interconnects Helicase, Respiratory chain and Pathology in the investigation of issues within Mitochondrial DNA. Haplotype and Locus is closely connected to Ataxia in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Genetics.

Her Mitochondrial disease study combines topics in areas such as Biomarker, Cardiomyopathy and Mitochondrial respiratory chain. Her Mitochondrion study incorporates themes from Oxidative stress, Disease and DNA replication. She has researched Mitochondrial myopathy in several fields, including Endocrinology, Mitochondrial unfolded protein response and Internal medicine.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Mitochondrial DNA (57.62%)
  • Genetics (55.02%)
  • Mitochondrial disease (32.71%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Mitochondrial DNA (57.62%)
  • Cell biology (13.38%)
  • Mitochondrion (30.86%)

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

Anu Suomalainen mainly focuses on Mitochondrial DNA, Cell biology, Mitochondrion, Mitochondrial disease and Genetics. Her Mitochondrial DNA research includes elements of Muscle biopsy, Molecular biology, DNA and Helicase. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Mitochondrial trifunctional protein and Mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency.

Her Mitochondrion research incorporates themes from Endocrinology, Mitochondrial ribosome, Sudden infant death syndrome and Internal medicine. Her Mitochondrial disease study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Integrated stress response and Mitochondrial myopathy. Her study in Genetics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Dystonia and Mediator.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 Drives Dynamics of Local and Systemic Stress Responses in Mitochondrial Myopathy with mtDNA Deletions (45 citations)
  • Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 Drives Dynamics of Local and Systemic Stress Responses in Mitochondrial Myopathy with mtDNA Deletions (45 citations)
  • Regulation of Mother-to-Offspring Transmission of mtDNA Heteroplasmy. (30 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • DNA

Her main research concerns Cell biology, Mitochondrion, Mitochondrial DNA, Mitochondrial disease and Mitochondrial myopathy. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ribosome, Mitochondrial trifunctional protein, Sudden infant death syndrome and DNA replication. Anu Suomalainen combines subjects such as Mitochondrial ribosome, Mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency and Fatty acid with her study of Mitochondrion.

Her work deals with themes such as Cell cycle, Mutagenesis and Stem cell, which intersect with Mitochondrial DNA. Anu Suomalainen interconnects Integrated stress response, Mitochondrial unfolded protein response and Cellular homeostasis in the investigation of issues within Mitochondrial disease. Her Mitochondrial myopathy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Niacin, Vitamin, Endocrinology and Mitochondrial biogenesis.
