Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Cell biology, Synaptobrevin, Synaptic vesicle and Microbiology. His research on Biochemistry often connects related topics like Molecular biology. His Cell biology research incorporates elements of Endocytic cycle, Endocytosis and Neuromuscular junction.

His Synaptobrevin research includes themes of Botulism, VAMP2, Acetylcholine and Ganglioside binding. His Synaptic vesicle study combines topics in areas such as Integral membrane protein, Exocytosis, Syntaxin and Protease. His Microbiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Immune system, Immunology, Antigen and Helicobacter pylori.

His most cited work include:

  • Tetanus and botulinum-B neurotoxins block neurotransmitter release by proteolytic cleavage of synaptobrevin (1492 citations)
  • Neurotoxins Affecting Neuroexocytosis (1041 citations)
  • Mechanism of action of tetanus and botulinum neurotoxins. (486 citations)

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

Cesare Montecucco mostly deals with Biochemistry, Microbiology, Cell biology, Toxin and Synaptic vesicle. He focuses mostly in the field of Biochemistry, narrowing it down to topics relating to Biophysics and, in certain cases, Membrane and Lipid bilayer. His Microbiology study incorporates themes from Helicobacter pylori, Antigen, Tetanus and Bacillus anthracis.

He has included themes like Vesicle, Neuromuscular junction and Endocytosis in his Cell biology study. He interconnects Receptor, Cell, Cell culture and Liposome in the investigation of issues within Toxin. The various areas that Cesare Montecucco examines in his Synaptic vesicle study include Exocytosis and Neurotransmitter.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (44.06%)
  • Microbiology (19.58%)
  • Cell biology (19.58%)

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

  • Biochemistry (44.06%)
  • Botulism (10.26%)
  • Neuroscience (7.69%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Botulism, Neuroscience, Neuromuscular junction and Pharmacology. His Biochemistry study is mostly concerned with Thioredoxin, Synaptic vesicle, Cytosol, Synaptotagmin 1 and Toxin. His Synaptic vesicle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Heat shock protein and Biophysics.

His work on Clostridium botulinum and Weissella oryzae as part of general Toxin research is frequently linked to Domain, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Botulism research is within the category of Microbiology. His research in Neuroscience intersects with topics in Neurotransmission and Mechanism of action.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Botulinum neurotoxins: genetic, structural and mechanistic insights (317 citations)
  • Botulinum Neurotoxins: Biology, Pharmacology, and Toxicology. (232 citations)
  • The blockade of the neurotransmitter release apparatus by botulinum neurotoxins (78 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Cesare Montecucco mainly investigates Biochemistry, Botulism, Cytosol, Cell biology and Pharmacology. Cesare Montecucco merges Biochemistry with Heterotrimeric G protein in his research. His Botulism study also includes fields such as

  • Botulinum neurotoxin that connect with fields like Metalloprotease activity, Tetanus and Clostridium species,
  • Paralysis which connect with Genus Clostridium, Clostridia, Membrane translocation and Microbiology.

The concepts of his Cytosol study are interwoven with issues in In vitro, Endocytic vesicle and Receptor, Internalization, Endocytosis. His Cell biology research incorporates themes from Synaptotagmin 1, SNARE complex, Lipid bilayer fusion and Complexin. His work carried out in the field of Thioredoxin brings together such families of science as Synaptic vesicle and Reductase.
