Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Cell membrane

His main research concerns Cell biology, Cochlea, Hair cell, Biophysics and Inner ear. The study incorporates disciplines such as Organ of Corti and Stereocilia in addition to Cell biology. Bechara Kachar combines subjects such as Positional cloning and Protein filament with his study of Cochlea.

His research integrates issues of Protocadherin and Biochemistry in his study of Hair cell. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Vesicle, Membrane, Mechanosensitive channels and Anatomy. Hearing loss and Enlarged vestibular aqueduct is closely connected to Vestibular system in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Inner ear.

His most cited work include:

  • Determination of elastic moduli of thin layers of soft material using the atomic force microscope. (848 citations)
  • CNS Myelin and Sertoli Cell Tight Junction Strands Are Absent in Osp/Claudin-11 Null Mice (593 citations)
  • Cadherin 23 and protocadherin 15 interact to form tip-link filaments in sensory hair cells. (512 citations)

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

Bechara Kachar spends much of his time researching Cell biology, Biophysics, Hair cell, Cochlea and Actin. His Cell biology research incorporates elements of Inner ear, Organ of Corti, Stereocilia and Cytoskeleton. His study looks at the relationship between Inner ear and fields such as Pathology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

He has included themes like Crystallography, Membrane, Biochemistry, Tight junction and Anatomy in his Biophysics study. In his research, Tip link is intimately related to Mechanotransduction, which falls under the overarching field of Hair cell. His work carried out in the field of Actin brings together such families of science as Stereocilium and Protein filament.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (49.10%)
  • Biophysics (26.58%)
  • Hair cell (23.87%)

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

  • Cell biology (49.10%)
  • Hair cell (23.87%)
  • Actin (15.77%)

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

Bechara Kachar focuses on Cell biology, Hair cell, Actin, Myosin and Stereocilia. His Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Membrane protein, Stereocilia, Cochlea and Actin cytoskeleton. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genetics and Organ of Corti.

His Hair cell study incorporates themes from Vestibular system, Postsynaptic potential and Neurotransmission. His Actin research includes elements of Cell junction, Membrane, Motility, MDia1 and Adherens junction. His work deals with themes such as Microfilament Protein, COS cells and Protein filament, which intersect with Stereocilia.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • NMII forms a contractile transcellular sarcomeric network to regulate apical cell junctions and tissue geometry. (105 citations)
  • TMC1 and TMC2 Localize at the Site of Mechanotransduction in Mammalian Inner Ear Hair Cell Stereocilia. (105 citations)
  • Mouse models of MYH9-related disease: mutations in nonmuscle myosin II-A (104 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Cell membrane

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Actin, Myosin, Hair cell and Actin cytoskeleton. He connects Cell biology with Population in his study. He combines subjects such as Cell junction, Myosin Type III, Morphogenesis, Adherens junction and Arp2/3 complex with his study of Actin.

Bechara Kachar works on Hair cell which deals in particular with Stereocilia. His Stereocilia research includes themes of Mechanotransduction and COS cells. His research in Actin cytoskeleton intersects with topics in Actinin and Occludin, Tight junction.
