Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cell membrane
  • Biochemistry

Her primary areas of study are Cell biology, Intracellular, Scrapie, Biochemistry and Golgi apparatus. Her work deals with themes such as Cell culture, Neurodegeneration and Membrane protein, which intersect with Cell biology. Her Cell culture research integrates issues from Fungal prion, Transport protein, PrPSc Proteins, Endosome and Gene isoform.

Her study explores the link between Neurodegeneration and topics such as Peripheral nervous system that cross with problems in In vitro and Cell type. Chiara Zurzolo has included themes like Fibril, Cell, Disease and Cell growth in her Intracellular study. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gpi anchored protein, Glycosylphosphatidylinositol, Protein oligomerization and Transfection.

Her most cited work include:

  • A Requirement for Caveolin-1 and Associated Kinase Fyn in Integrin Signaling and Anchorage-Dependent Cell Growth (654 citations)
  • Prions hijack tunnelling nanotubes for intercellular spread (444 citations)
  • Prions hijack tunnelling nanotubes for intercellular spread (444 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Biochemistry, Intracellular, Cell culture and Golgi apparatus. The study incorporates disciplines such as Apical membrane, Membrane protein and Cell polarity in addition to Cell biology. Her Biochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Scrapie and PrPSc Proteins.

Chiara Zurzolo interconnects Cell, Protein aggregation, Fibril, Membrane topology and Prion protein in the investigation of issues within Intracellular. Her Cell culture research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Receptor, Cell signaling and Cell type. Her Golgi apparatus research incorporates themes from Biosynthesis, Gpi anchored protein and Cytoskeleton.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (101.94%)
  • Biochemistry (27.74%)
  • Intracellular (23.87%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Cell biology (101.94%)
  • Intracellular (23.87%)
  • Biophysics (9.68%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Intracellular, Biophysics, Actin and In vitro. Her work on Protein folding is typically connected to Cellular microbiology as part of general Cell biology study, connecting several disciplines of science. Her studies in Biophysics integrate themes in fields like Filopodia, Multicellular organism, Organelle and Microscopy.

Extracellular, Glycolipid and Protein aggregation is closely connected to Cell in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Actin. Her study in In vitro is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Parkinson's disease and Amyloid. Chiara Zurzolo has researched Gene isoform in several fields, including Wnt signaling pathway and Neurodegeneration.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Tunneling Nanotubes and Gap Junctions-Their Role in Long-Range Intercellular Communication during Development, Health, and Disease Conditions. (100 citations)
  • α-Synuclein transfer between neurons and astrocytes indicates that astrocytes play a role in degradation rather than in spreading (97 citations)
  • Correlative cryo-electron microscopy reveals the structure of TNTs in neuronal cells. (72 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cell membrane
  • Biochemistry

Intracellular, Cell biology, Neurodegeneration, Biophysics and Gene isoform are her primary areas of study. Her Intracellular study combines topics in areas such as Transport protein, Cell culture, Ex vivo, Wnt signaling pathway and Alpha-synuclein. As part of her studies on Cell biology, Chiara Zurzolo frequently links adjacent subjects like Protein structure.

Her studies deal with areas such as α synuclein, Dopaminergic, Membrane topology, Neuroscience and In vivo as well as Neurodegeneration. Her research investigates the connection with Biophysics and areas like Multicellular organism which intersect with concerns in Cytoneme, Organelle, Intercellular transport and Microscopy. Chiara Zurzolo combines subjects such as Fungal prion, Glycoprotein and Transmembrane protein with her study of Gene isoform.
