Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Laminin, Cell biology, Embryonic stem cell, Basement membrane assembly and Molecular biology. As a part of the same scientific family, David Edgar mostly works in the field of Laminin, focusing on Cell adhesion and, on occasion, Cell–cell interaction. His Cell biology study incorporates themes from Cell culture, Cellular differentiation and Nerve growth factor.

The various areas that he examines in his Embryonic stem cell study include Progenitor cell, Stem cell, Enteric nervous system and Pathology. David Edgar has included themes like Epithelium, Immunology, Interstitial cell of Cajal, Epiblast and Embryoid body in his Stem cell study. His research in Basement membrane assembly intersects with topics in EGF-like domain, Dystroglycan, Stereochemistry and Basement membrane.

His most cited work include:

  • A simplified laminin nomenclature (681 citations)
  • Absence of Basement Membranes after Targeting the LAMC1 Gene Results in Embryonic Lethality Due to Failure of Endoderm Differentiation (451 citations)
  • Matrix assembly, regulation, and survival functions of laminin and its receptors in embryonic stem cell differentiation (290 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Laminin, Embryonic stem cell, Pathology and Stem cell. His work deals with themes such as Cell culture, Cellular differentiation, Nerve growth factor, Immunology and Embryoid body, which intersect with Cell biology. Within one scientific family, David Edgar focuses on topics pertaining to Epithelium under Embryoid body, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Basement membrane assembly.

He combines subjects such as Molecular biology, Glycoprotein, Protein subunit and Basement membrane with his study of Laminin. His work in Embryonic stem cell tackles topics such as Cell adhesion which are related to areas like Biophysics. The Pathology study combines topics in areas such as Progenitor cell, Transplantation and Enteric nervous system.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (34.45%)
  • Laminin (27.73%)
  • Embryonic stem cell (26.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2020)?

  • Cell biology (34.45%)
  • Stem cell (17.65%)
  • Embryonic stem cell (26.05%)

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

His main research concerns Cell biology, Stem cell, Embryonic stem cell, Cellular differentiation and Progenitor cell. His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Germ layer and Immunology. His Embryonic stem cell research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cell culture, Epithelium, Cell growth, Cell adhesion and Mesenchymal stem cell.

As part of the same scientific family, David Edgar usually focuses on Cell culture, concentrating on Cell and intersecting with Extracellular matrix. His Cellular differentiation research includes themes of Endothelial stem cell, Cell type and Mesoderm. His Progenitor cell research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Neurosphere and Pathology.

Between 2009 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Differentiation of Podocyte and Proximal Tubule-Like Cells from a Mouse Kidney-Derived Stem Cell Line (35 citations)
  • The influence of high intensity terahertz radiation on mammalian cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation (30 citations)
  • Characterization of the interface between adsorbed fibronectin and human embryonic stem cells. (28 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

David Edgar mainly investigates Embryonic stem cell, Cellular differentiation, Cell biology, Cell culture and Cell adhesion. His work on Embryoid body as part of his general Embryonic stem cell study is frequently connected to Rac GTP-Binding Proteins, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His work carried out in the field of Cellular differentiation brings together such families of science as Endothelial stem cell and Immunology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Epithelium and Germ layer in addition to Cell biology. David Edgar has researched Cell culture in several fields, including Cell morphology, Biophysics, Cell growth and Optics. His Cell adhesion research incorporates themes from Fibronectin, Extracellular matrix and Terahertz radiation.
