What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Immune system
- Internal medicine
- Inflammation
Immunology, Intestinal mucosa, Immune system, Internal medicine and Endocrinology are his primary areas of study.
His work on Neuroimmune system as part of general Immunology study is frequently connected to Bidirectional communication, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
His Intestinal mucosa research incorporates elements of Barrier function, Antigen and Ileum.
He combines subjects such as Epithelium and Interleukin 8 with his study of Immune system.
His Internal medicine study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Mast cell.
Derek M. McKay studied Cytokine and Acquired immune system that intersect with Inflammation.
His most cited work include:
- Probiotics prevent bacterial translocation and improve intestinal barrier function in rats following chronic psychological stress (291 citations)
- Glucagon-like peptide-2 enhances intestinal epithelial barrier function of both transcellular and paracellular pathways in the mouse (202 citations)
- Corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) regulates macromolecular permeability via mast cells in normal human colonic biopsies in vitro (192 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Immunology, Immune system, Inflammation, Cell biology and Internal medicine.
In the subject of general Immunology, his work in Colitis, Cytokine and Superantigen is often linked to Hymenolepis diminuta, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
His study in Immune system is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Molecular biology, Epithelial Physiology and Microbiology.
His Inflammation research includes themes of Receptor, Mediator, Pathophysiology and Disease.
His study in the field of Barrier function and Transcellular also crosses realms of Paracellular transport.
His Internal medicine study which covers Endocrinology that intersects with Intestinal mucosa, Mast cell and Bethanechol.
He most often published in these fields:
- Immunology (42.75%)
- Immune system (25.95%)
- Inflammation (25.19%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2018)?
- Immunology (42.75%)
- Inflammation (25.19%)
- Cell biology (21.37%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Derek M. McKay mostly deals with Immunology, Inflammation, Cell biology, Colitis and Immune system.
His Immunology study incorporates themes from Stress induced and In vitro.
The concepts of his Inflammation study are interwoven with issues in Receptor, Neuroscience and Enteric neuron.
Derek M. McKay interconnects Neuropeptide, Secretion and Enterocyte in the investigation of issues within Cell biology.
The Colitis study combines topics in areas such as Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Cytokine and Pharmacology.
His research in Immune system intersects with topics in Epithelium and Disease, Inflammatory bowel disease.
Between 2009 and 2018, his most popular works were:
- Extracts of the Rat Tapeworm, Hymenolepis diminuta, Suppress Macrophage Activation In Vitro and Alleviate Chemically Induced Colitis in Mice (78 citations)
- P-Selectin-Mediated Monocyte–Cerebral Endothelium Adhesive Interactions Link Peripheral Organ Inflammation To Sickness Behaviors (45 citations)
- Exacerbation of Oxazolone Colitis by Infection with the Helminth Hymenolepis diminuta : Involvement of IL-5 and Eosinophils (32 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Immune system
- Internal medicine
- Inflammation
Derek M. McKay focuses on Immunology, Colitis, Immune system, Inflammation and Hymenolepis diminuta.
The various areas that Derek M. McKay examines in his Colitis study include Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Lipopolysaccharide, Macrophage, Pharmacology and Interleukin 10.
His Tumor necrosis factor alpha study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cytokine, Sickness behavior, Microglia and Monocyte.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Disease, Rheumatoid arthritis and Parasitic helminth.
His Disease research incorporates themes from Epithelium, Intestinal epithelium, Homeostasis, Gastrointestinal tract and Enteric nervous system.
His Inflammation research includes elements of Helminths, Inflammatory bowel disease and Bioinformatics.
