Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Platelet-derived growth factor receptor, Growth factor, Immunology and Pericyte. His Cell biology research incorporates themes from Endothelial stem cell, Endothelium, Angiogenesis and Cellular differentiation. His Platelet-derived growth factor receptor study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Blood vessel maturation, Mesenchyme, Receptor tyrosine kinase and Autocrine signalling.

A large part of his Growth factor studies is devoted to Platelet-derived growth factor. His study in Immunology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Elastin, Cell signaling, Signal transduction, Paracrine signalling and Lung. His work carried out in the field of Pericyte brings together such families of science as PDGFB, Mural cell, Neuroglia and Pathology.

His most cited work include:

  • VEGF guides angiogenic sprouting utilizing endothelial tip cell filopodia (2179 citations)
  • Cell types in the mouse cortex and hippocampus revealed by single-cell RNA-seq (1842 citations)
  • Pericyte loss and microaneurysm formation in PDGF-B-deficient mice (1790 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Cell biology, Platelet-derived growth factor receptor, Growth factor, Pathology and Platelet-derived growth factor. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Endothelial stem cell, Pericyte, Mural cell, Angiogenesis and Immunology. His study focuses on the intersection of Mural cell and fields such as Cell type with connections in the field of Mesenchymal stem cell and Transcriptome.

He combines subjects such as Cell culture, Autocrine signalling, Cancer research and Signal transduction with his study of Platelet-derived growth factor receptor. In Growth factor, Christer Betsholtz works on issues like Endocrinology, which are connected to Amyloid. While the research belongs to areas of Platelet-derived growth factor, Christer Betsholtz spends his time largely on the problem of Molecular biology, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Gene, Gene expression, Messenger RNA, Complementary DNA and Northern blot.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (63.32%)
  • Platelet-derived growth factor receptor (25.93%)
  • Growth factor (27.57%)

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

  • Cell biology (63.32%)
  • Pericyte (18.93%)
  • Growth factor (27.57%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Pericyte, Growth factor, Cell and Pathology. The concepts of his Cell biology study are interwoven with issues in Endothelial stem cell, Mural cell, Transcriptome, Zebrafish and PDGFRB. His studies in Mural cell integrate themes in fields like Signal transduction and Single-cell analysis.

His Pericyte research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Diabetes mellitus, Vascular smooth muscle, Blood–brain barrier and Neuroscience. Christer Betsholtz interconnects Extracellular matrix and Cancer research in the investigation of issues within Growth factor. The study incorporates disciplines such as Stem cell, Mesenchymal stem cell and Cellular differentiation in addition to Cell.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A molecular atlas of cell types and zonation in the brain vasculature (535 citations)
  • A molecular atlas of cell types and zonation in the brain vasculature (535 citations)
  • Systematic Evaluation of Pleiotropy Identifies 6 Further Loci Associated With Coronary Artery Disease (130 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

Christer Betsholtz mostly deals with Cell biology, Pericyte, Cell type, Growth factor and Cell. His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Endothelial stem cell, Mural cell, Cell migration and Green fluorescent protein. Christer Betsholtz has included themes like Receptor, Endothelium, Neuroscience and Disease in his Pericyte study.

His Cell type study deals with Mesenchymal stem cell intersecting with Cerebral circulation, Brain vasculature, Central nervous system and Immunology. His Growth factor research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Knockout mouse, Lung and Anatomy. His study looks at the relationship between Cell and fields such as Cellular differentiation, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
