Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Cancer

David H. Rowitch mostly deals with Cell biology, Neuroscience, Oligodendrocyte, OLIG2 and Progenitor cell. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Genetics and Endocrinology. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Transcription factor and Anatomy.

His research in Oligodendrocyte intersects with topics in Immunology, Molecular biology and Neuroglia. His studies deal with areas such as Oligodendrocyte Transcription Factor 2 and Microarray as well as OLIG2. His Progenitor cell study incorporates themes from DLX2, Interneuron and Cellular differentiation.

His most cited work include:

  • Neurotoxic reactive astrocytes are induced by activated microglia (2079 citations)
  • Conserved role of intragenic DNA methylation in regulating alternative promoters (1280 citations)
  • Fate of the mammalian cranial neural crest during tooth and mandibular morphogenesis (1111 citations)

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

David H. Rowitch spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Cell biology, Oligodendrocyte, OLIG2 and Cancer research. His study in Neuroscience is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Anatomy and Neural stem cell. David H. Rowitch has researched Cell biology in several fields, including Genetics, Cellular differentiation and Immunology.

His Oligodendrocyte research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Forebrain and Myelin basic protein. His studies in OLIG2 integrate themes in fields like Oligodendrocyte Transcription Factor 2, Neural tube, Progenitor cell, Transcription factor and Pathology. David H. Rowitch focuses mostly in the field of Cancer research, narrowing it down to matters related to Hedgehog signaling pathway and, in some cases, Hedgehog.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (39.37%)
  • Cell biology (41.46%)
  • Oligodendrocyte (25.09%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (39.37%)
  • Cell biology (41.46%)
  • Astrocyte (12.54%)

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

David H. Rowitch focuses on Neuroscience, Cell biology, Astrocyte, Neurodegeneration and Central nervous system. The concepts of his Neuroscience study are interwoven with issues in Transcriptome and Function. His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Myelin, Cellular differentiation, White matter and Neuron.

His research on Myelin focuses in particular on Oligodendrocyte. David H. Rowitch does research in Oligodendrocyte, focusing on OLIG2 specifically. His Central nervous system research includes elements of Progenitor cell, Stroke, Sonic hedgehog, Ageing and Pharmacology.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Single-cell reconstruction of the early maternal–fetal interface in humans (566 citations)
  • Single-cell genomics identifies cell type-specific molecular changes in autism. (182 citations)
  • Challenges to curing primary brain tumours (159 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Cancer

His main research concerns Cell biology, Neurodegeneration, Astrocyte, Neuroscience and White matter. His Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Central nervous system and Ageing. The Neurodegeneration study combines topics in areas such as Downregulation and upregulation, SOD1, Motor neuron, Spinal cord and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Gene expression, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Glioma, Cell activation and OLIG2. David H. Rowitch combines subjects such as Transcriptome, White Matter Injury and Conditional gene knockout with his study of Neuroscience. His White matter research focuses on subjects like Myelin, which are linked to Multiple sclerosis, Neuron, Neuroimmunology, In situ hybridization and Microglia.
