Overview

Cheryl A. Conover is affiliated with the Mayo Clinic in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on the intersection of medicine and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with particular attention to molecular biology, physiology, endocrinology, diabetes, metabolism, immunology, and pediatrics, perinatology, and child health.

Their extensive body of work covers several key scientific topics including adipose tissue and metabolism, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factors, birth, development, and health, molecular biology techniques and applications, renal and related cancers, pregnancy and preeclampsia studies, as well as telomeres, telomerase, and senescence.

Recent notable published papers include:

  • Insulin-Like Growth Factors Are Key Regulators of T Helper 17 Regulatory T Cell Balance in Autoimmunity, 2020, Immunity
  • The Stanniocalcin-PAPP-A-IGFBP-IGF Axis, 2023, The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism
  • The Pregnancy-Associated Plasma Protein-A (PAPP-A) Story, 2023, Endocrine Reviews
  • Metalloproteinase PAPP-A regulation of IGF-1 contributes to polycystic kidney disease pathogenesis, 2020, JCI Insight
  • The IGF System and Aging, 2024, Endocrine Reviews

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Conover include Laurie K. Bale, Claus Oxvig, Sally A. West, Akhila Ramakrishna, and Marius N. Stan.

Major publication venues for their work are varied but prominently feature Harvard Dataverse, The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, Endocrine Reviews, Experimental Gerontology, and Growth Hormone & IGF Research.

Their research contributions span multiple aspects of endocrinology and molecular biology, particularly examining pathways involving insulin-like growth factors and their roles in autoimmune regulation, aging, kidney disease, and pregnancy-related processes. This reflects a multidisciplinary approach integrating physiology and molecular mechanisms relevant to health and disease.
