Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

Her primary areas of investigation include Endoplasmic reticulum, Biophysics, Ryanodine receptor, Biochemistry and Anatomy. She has researched Endoplasmic reticulum in several fields, including Myocyte, Internal medicine, Calcium and Endocrinology. In Biophysics, Clara Franzini-Armstrong works on issues like Actin, which are connected to SUPERFAMILY and Kinesin.

Her Ryanodine receptor research includes themes of Cardiac muscle and Voltage-dependent calcium channel. Her Biochemistry study incorporates themes from Depolarization and Skeletal muscle. The Anatomy study combines topics in areas such as Dihydropyridine, Refractory period and Tissue membrane.

Her most cited work include:

  • Structural evidence for direct interaction between the molecular components of the transverse tubule/sarcoplasmic reticulum junction in skeletal muscle. (635 citations)
  • Ryanodine receptors of striated muscles: a complex channel capable of multiple interactions (624 citations)
  • Shape, Size, and Distribution of Ca2+ Release Units and Couplons in Skeletal and Cardiac Muscles (469 citations)

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

Biophysics, Endoplasmic reticulum, Skeletal muscle, Ryanodine receptor and Anatomy are her primary areas of study. She interconnects Calcium, Membrane, Biochemistry, Muscle contraction and Ryanodine receptor 2 in the investigation of issues within Biophysics. Her Endoplasmic reticulum research integrates issues from Myocyte, Internal medicine and Endocrinology.

Her Skeletal muscle study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Electron microscope, Molecular biology, Protein subunit and Organelle. Her Ryanodine receptor study which covers Voltage-dependent calcium channel that intersects with Receptor. Her Anatomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Myosin, Sarcomere, Myofibril and Actin.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Biophysics (42.15%)
  • Endoplasmic reticulum (40.50%)
  • Skeletal muscle (31.82%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2013-2020)?

  • Skeletal muscle (31.82%)
  • Ryanodine receptor (31.82%)
  • Biophysics (42.15%)

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

Clara Franzini-Armstrong spends much of her time researching Skeletal muscle, Ryanodine receptor, Biophysics, Endoplasmic reticulum and Anatomy. Her Ryanodine receptor research incorporates elements of Molecular biology, Endocrinology and Cytoplasm. Her studies in Biophysics integrate themes in fields like Calcium, Excitation–contraction coupling, Voltage-dependent calcium channel, Cell membrane and Electron microscope.

Clara Franzini-Armstrong has included themes like Myocyte, Cardiac muscle and Biochemistry in her Calcium study. Her research in the fields of STIM1 overlaps with other disciplines such as Coupling, Muscle fatigue and DNM1L. Her biological study deals with issues like Sarcomere, which deal with fields such as Actin, Myosin and Transverse plane.

Between 2013 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Overexpression of junctophilin-2 does not enhance baseline function but attenuates heart failure development after cardiac stress. (54 citations)
  • Nanoscale patterning of STIM1 and Orai1 during store-operated Ca2+ entry (42 citations)
  • Schwann Cells and Deleted in Colorectal Carcinoma Direct Regenerating Motor Axons Towards Their Original Path (38 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

Clara Franzini-Armstrong mainly focuses on Endoplasmic reticulum, Cell biology, Calcium, Ryanodine receptor and Zebrafish. Her Endoplasmic reticulum research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Skeletal muscle, Biophysics and Calcium signaling. Her studies deal with areas such as STIM1, Biochemistry, Cell membrane, HEK 293 cells and Electron microscope as well as Biophysics.

Her work in the fields of Cell biology, such as RYR1, BICD2 and Dynein, overlaps with other areas such as Processivity and HOOK1. Her Calcium research includes elements of Myocyte, Cardiac muscle and Cardiac function curve. Her work focuses on many connections between Ryanodine receptor and other disciplines, such as Endocrinology, that overlap with her field of interest in Dihydropyridine, Congenital myopathy and Receptor.
