Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Genetics
  • Actin
  • Cancer

Christine Chaponnier spends much of her time researching Cell biology, Actin, Myofibroblast, Granulation tissue and Wound healing. Her study in Cell biology focuses on Cytoplasm in particular. Her Actin study combines topics in areas such as Profilin, Cell, Immunology and Microfilament.

Her Myofibroblast study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Myocyte, Vascular smooth muscle and Anatomy. Her research investigates the connection between Wound healing and topics such as Pathology that intersect with issues in Fibronectin. Her Myofibroblast contraction research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Molecular biology and Contractility.

Her most cited work include:

  • Myofibroblasts and mechano-regulation of connective tissue remodelling (2933 citations)
  • Alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin Expression Upregulates Fibroblast Contractile Activity (872 citations)
  • Tissue repair, contraction, and the myofibroblast. (725 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Actin, Cell biology, Molecular biology, Cytoskeleton and Pathology. The concepts of her Actin study are interwoven with issues in Cell, Cytoplasm, Myofibroblast, Myocyte and Myosin. Her study in Myofibroblast is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Wound healing, Granulation tissue, Vascular smooth muscle and Anatomy.

MDia1 is closely connected to Actin remodeling in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Cell biology. Her work in Molecular biology covers topics such as In vitro which are related to areas like Antibody. She interconnects Fibroblast and Cancer in the investigation of issues within Pathology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Actin (66.04%)
  • Cell biology (46.23%)
  • Molecular biology (22.64%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

  • Actin (66.04%)
  • Cell biology (46.23%)
  • Cytoskeleton (21.70%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Actin, Cell biology, Cytoskeleton, Myocyte and Cytoplasm. Her work carried out in the field of Actin brings together such families of science as Skeletal muscle, Molecular biology, Contraction and Myosin. Christine Chaponnier undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Cell biology and Mitotic spindle organization through her works.

Her Cytoskeleton study incorporates themes from Virus, Myofibroblast and Cell polarity. Her Myofibroblast research integrates issues from Transdifferentiation and Arp2/3 complex. As part of one scientific family, she deals mainly with the area of Myocyte, narrowing it down to issues related to the Pathology, and often Actinin.

Between 2008 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • β- and γ-cytoplasmic actins display distinct distribution and functional diversity (150 citations)
  • Author Correction: Variants in exons 5 and 6 of ACTB cause syndromic thrombocytopenia. (82 citations)
  • Resveratrol Treatment Reduces Cardiac Progenitor Cell Dysfunction and Prevents Morpho-Functional Ventricular Remodeling in Type-1 Diabetic Rats (45 citations)

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

  • Genetics
  • Cancer
  • Actin

Christine Chaponnier mostly deals with Actin, Cell biology, Myocyte, Cytoplasm and Cytoskeleton. Her Actin research incorporates themes from Sarcomere and Heart failure. Her Cell biology research incorporates elements of Myopathy, Contraction and Skeletal muscle.

Her Myocyte research includes themes of ACTA2 and Growth factor receptor. Her Cytoplasm research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cell, Motility, Actin cytoskeleton and Monoclonal antibody. The various areas that Christine Chaponnier examines in her Cytoskeleton study include Flow cytometry and Cell polarity.
