Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Cell biology, Cartilage, Actin, Molecular biology and Anatomy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Integrin, Biochemistry and Mutant. His Cartilage research includes elements of Pathological, Pathology and Early detection.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Discoidin domain-containing receptor 2, DDR1 and Receptor, Tyrosine kinase in addition to Molecular biology. His Anatomy research incorporates themes from Matrix, Cell division and In situ hybridization. His research integrates issues of Perlecan and Basement membrane in his study of Extracellular matrix.

His most cited work include:

  • Perlecan Maintains the Integrity of Cartilage and Some Basement Membranes (555 citations)
  • Defective smooth muscle regulation in cGMP kinase I‐deficient mice (471 citations)
  • Fibromodulin-null mice have abnormal collagen fibrils, tissue organization, and altered lumican deposition in tendon. (386 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Cartilage, Extracellular matrix, Molecular biology and Anatomy. His Cell biology research includes elements of Chondrocyte, Integrin, Biochemistry and Type II collagen. His research investigates the link between Integrin and topics such as Cell adhesion that cross with problems in Immunology.

His Cartilage research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ossification, Matrix and Perlecan. His Extracellular matrix study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Phenotype, Endochondral ossification, Northern blot and Basement membrane. The Molecular biology study combines topics in areas such as Gene expression, Mutant, Gene, Exon and Intron.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (54.79%)
  • Cartilage (38.36%)
  • Extracellular matrix (39.73%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2016)?

  • Cell biology (54.79%)
  • Extracellular matrix (39.73%)
  • Programmed cell death (10.96%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Extracellular matrix, Programmed cell death, Isozyme and Procollagen-proline dioxygenase. His Cell biology research incorporates elements of Chondrocyte and Actin cytoskeleton. His studies deal with areas such as Chondrogenesis, Fibronectin and Immunology as well as Actin cytoskeleton.

His Chondrogenesis research is within the category of Cartilage. His work on Laminin as part of general Extracellular matrix study is frequently connected to Neurite, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His study with Isozyme involves better knowledge in Biochemistry.

Between 2008 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Early detection of aging cartilage and osteoarthritis in mice and patient samples using atomic force microscopy (315 citations)
  • Lifeact mice for studying F-actin dynamics (226 citations)
  • Profilin 1 is required for abscission during late cytokinesis of chondrocytes (56 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

Attila Aszódi mainly focuses on Actin, Cell biology, Dynamics, Biophysics and Lamellipodium. His Cell biology study incorporates themes from Nerve injury and Anatomy. His work carried out in the field of Lamellipodium brings together such families of science as Actin cytoskeleton, Profilin, Cell division, Cytokinesis and Chondrocyte.

His Chondrocyte study frequently involves adjacent topics like Myosin.
