Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • DNA
  • Biochemistry

Her main research concerns Cell biology, Cell migration, Cell adhesion, Paxillin and Signal transduction. The concepts of her Cell biology study are interwoven with issues in Dendritic spine and Integrin. In her study, PTK2, Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src, Role of cell adhesions in neural development, Molecular biology and MAPK/ERK pathway is inextricably linked to Myosin light-chain kinase, which falls within the broad field of Cell migration.

Her Cell adhesion research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Endosome, Cytological Techniques, Signalling pathways and Cell movement. Her Paxillin research integrates issues from Golgi apparatus and Cytoplasm. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Signal transduction, Phosphorylation and Urokinase receptor is strongly linked to Kinase.

Her most cited work include:

  • FAK-Src signalling through paxillin, ERK and MLCK regulates adhesion disassembly. (1091 citations)
  • Adhesion assembly, disassembly and turnover in migrating cells -- over and over and over again. (619 citations)
  • Differential Dynamics of α5 Integrin, Paxillin, and α-Actinin during Formation and Disassembly of Adhesions in Migrating Cells (394 citations)

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

Cell biology, Cell migration, Molecular biology, Biochemistry and Receptor are her primary areas of study. Her Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Dendritic spine and Cell adhesion. Her Cell adhesion study also includes fields such as

  • Focal adhesion that connect with fields like Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src,
  • Integrin together with Extracellular matrix and Actin.

Cell migration is a subfield of Cell that Donna J. Webb studies. Her Molecular biology research incorporates themes from Urokinase receptor, Transforming growth factor beta and Neuron. Her study looks at the relationship between Receptor and fields such as Monoclonal antibody, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (55.45%)
  • Cell migration (26.36%)
  • Molecular biology (20.00%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2019)?

  • Cell biology (55.45%)
  • Cell migration (26.36%)
  • Biophysics (10.00%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Cell migration, Biophysics, Myosin and Synapse. Her Cell biology study incorporates themes from Receptor and Leucine zipper. Her Leucine zipper research integrates issues from Signal transduction and Cell adhesion.

Her Cell migration research includes themes of Mechanotransduction, Computational biology and Paxillin. Her Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Luminescence, Microfluidics and Channelrhodopsin. Her work carried out in the field of Synapse brings together such families of science as Dendritic spine, Dendritic filopodia, Actin cytoskeleton and Spine.

Between 2012 and 2019, her most popular works were:

  • Recreating blood-brain barrier physiology and structure on chip: A novel neurovascular microfluidic bioreactor (208 citations)
  • Cancer-associated fibroblasts promote directional cancer cell migration by aligning fibronectin (181 citations)
  • Cancer-associated fibroblasts modulate growth factor signaling and extracellular matrix remodeling to regulate tumor metastasis (161 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • DNA
  • Biochemistry

Her primary scientific interests are in Central nervous system, Cell biology, Blood–brain barrier, Microscopy and Fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy. Her study in Central nervous system is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Human brain, Nanotechnology and Cell type. Donna J. Webb has included themes like Tumor progression, Integrin and Immunology in her Cell biology study.

The Blood–brain barrier study combines topics in areas such as Tight junction and Systemic inflammation. Her work deals with themes such as Deconvolution, Dichroic glass, Lens, Resolution and Field of view, which intersect with Microscopy. Her work in Fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy tackles topics such as Phosphorylation which are related to areas like Biophysics.
