Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

Bernard Thorens mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Glucose transporter, Biochemistry and Insulin. His work in Glucose homeostasis, Glucagon, Insulin resistance, Carbohydrate metabolism and Somatostatin is related to Internal medicine. Endocrinology and Receptor are frequently intertwined in his study.

His Glucose transporter study combines topics in areas such as Molecular biology, Glucose uptake, Polyol transport and Transmembrane domain. His study in the field of Transporter, Enteroendocrine cell, Glucagon receptor family and Secretin also crosses realms of Secretin receptor family. His study focuses on the intersection of Insulin and fields such as Secretion with connections in the field of Hormone, GTP' and Cell fractionation.

His most cited work include:

  • Amiloride-sensitive epithelial Na+ channel is made of three homologous subunits. (1728 citations)
  • Thioredoxin-interacting protein links oxidative stress to inflammasome activation (1537 citations)
  • Expression cloning of the pancreatic beta cell receptor for the gluco-incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide 1. (825 citations)

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

Bernard Thorens mostly deals with Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Insulin, Glucose transporter and Glucose homeostasis. His work in Endocrinology addresses subjects such as Receptor, which are connected to disciplines such as Signal transduction. His Insulin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hormone and Secretion.

His work deals with themes such as Glucose uptake, Transporter, Biochemistry, Molecular biology and Gene isoform, which intersect with Glucose transporter. His Glucose homeostasis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hypothalamus, Glucokinase and Homeostasis. His Beta cell study which covers Cell biology that intersects with Gene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (64.21%)
  • Endocrinology (63.88%)
  • Insulin (26.09%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (64.21%)
  • Endocrinology (63.88%)
  • Glucose homeostasis (16.05%)

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

Bernard Thorens mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Glucose homeostasis, Insulin and Islet. His research brings together the fields of Type 2 diabetes and Internal medicine. His Endocrinology research focuses on Glucagon secretion, Glucagon, GLUT2, Beta cell and Diabetes mellitus.

Bernard Thorens has included themes like Homeostasis and Cell biology in his Glucose homeostasis study. His Insulin research incorporates themes from Cell and Carbohydrate metabolism. The Islet study combines topics in areas such as Transcriptome and Impaired glucose tolerance.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • GLUT2, glucose sensing and glucose homeostasis (241 citations)
  • The Role of SGLT1 and GLUT2 in Intestinal Glucose Transport and Sensing (201 citations)
  • Postprandial macrophage-derived IL-1β stimulates insulin, and both synergistically promote glucose disposal and inflammation (148 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

Bernard Thorens focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Insulin, Glucose homeostasis and GLUT2. His Internal medicine study often links to related topics such as Type 2 diabetes. Endocrinology is closely attributed to Receptor in his study.

His research integrates issues of Adipose tissue, Cell, Carbohydrate metabolism and Drosophila Protein in his study of Insulin. His Glucose homeostasis study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Cell biology. His study on GLUT2 is covered under Glucose transporter.
