Overview

Catherina G. Becker is affiliated with TU Dresden in Germany and has contributed extensively to the fields of biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology, neuroscience, and medicine. Their research encompasses a broad range of topics including zebrafish biomedical research applications, neurogenesis and neuroplasticity mechanisms, spinal cord injury research, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration mechanisms, neurogenetic and muscular disorders research, nerve injury and regeneration, and microRNA in disease regulation.

The scientist's notable recent publications include:

  • A unique macrophage subpopulation signals directly to progenitor cells to promote regenerative neurogenesis in the zebrafish spinal cord (2021, Developmental Cell)
  • CRISPR gRNA phenotypic screening in zebrafish reveals pro-regenerative genes in spinal cord injury (2021, PLoS Genetics)
  • Targeting phosphoglycerate kinase 1 with terazosin improves motor neuron phenotypes in multiple models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (2022, EBioMedicine)
  • Truly-Biocompatible Gold Catalysis Enables Vivo-Orthogonal Intra-CNS Release of Anxiolytics (2021, Angewandte Chemie International Edition)
  • Regenerative neurogenesis: the integration of developmental, physiological and immune signals (2022, Development)

Frequent co-authors include Thomas Becker, Ana-Maria Oprişoreanu, Themistoklis M. Tsarouchas, Daniel Wehner, and Marcus Keatinge, with whom Catherina G. Becker has collaborated on multiple projects. The scientist's works are often published in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Developmental Cell, Current Opinion in Physiology, Journal of Visualized Experiments, and Life Science Alliance, highlighting a consistent presence in journals focusing on developmental biology, neuroscience, and physiology.

Research areas largely focus on cell biology, neurology, developmental neuroscience, molecular biology, and pathology and forensic medicine. Becker's contributions span experimental neuroscience and molecular approaches targeting mechanisms of spinal cord injury repair, neuroregeneration, and related cellular pathways in zebrafish models, an established system for studying regenerative processes.

The integration of developmental, immune, and physiological signals into neurogenesis research reflects a multidisciplinary approach aimed at uncovering cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying nervous system regeneration and neuroplasticity. This work involves both genetic screening methodologies and biochemical strategies to explore therapeutic directions in neurodegenerative diseases and spinal cord repair.
