Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • T cell

Eric J. Jenkinson mostly deals with Cell biology, Immunology, T cell, Stromal cell and Thymocyte. His studies deal with areas such as Cytotoxic T cell, Cellular differentiation and Antigen as well as Cell biology. Eric J. Jenkinson has included themes like Mesenchyme and Gene rearrangement in his Cellular differentiation study.

His research in CD8, T lymphocyte and T-cell receptor are components of Immunology. His T cell research includes elements of Gene expression, Stem cell and Cell growth. His biological study deals with issues like Immune system, which deal with fields such as Cell Microenvironment and Lymphatic system.

His most cited work include:

  • Antibodies to CD3/T-cell receptor complex induce death by apoptosis in immature T cells in thymic cultures. (1050 citations)
  • Cellular Interactions in Thymocyte Development (439 citations)
  • Lymphostromal interactions in thymic development and function (395 citations)

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

His main research concerns Cell biology, Immunology, Stromal cell, Thymocyte and T cell. Eric J. Jenkinson interconnects Embryonic stem cell, Cellular differentiation, CD8, Antigen and T-cell receptor in the investigation of issues within Cell biology. Eric J. Jenkinson combines subjects such as Progenitor cell and Stem cell with his study of Immunology.

His work deals with themes such as Organ culture, In vitro, MHC class II, Lymphatic system and Cell type, which intersect with Stromal cell. His study in Thymocyte is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Apoptosis, Programmed cell death, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His study explores the link between T cell and topics such as Extracellular matrix that cross with problems in Integrin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (66.10%)
  • Immunology (50.85%)
  • Stromal cell (35.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2014)?

  • Cell biology (66.10%)
  • Immunology (50.85%)
  • T cell (28.81%)

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

His primary areas of study are Cell biology, Immunology, T cell, Progenitor cell and Stromal cell. His Cell biology study incorporates themes from Embryonic stem cell, Lymphatic system, Thymocyte and Cellular differentiation. He has researched Immunology in several fields, including Epithelium and CD40.

His research in T cell intersects with topics in Receptor, Wnt signaling pathway, Stem cell and Cell growth. The various areas that Eric J. Jenkinson examines in his Progenitor cell study include Lineage, Haematopoiesis, Precursor cell and Fetal thymus. Eric J. Jenkinson interconnects Lymphopoiesis, Thymic involution, Immune tolerance and Organ culture in the investigation of issues within Stromal cell.

Between 2005 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • Clonal analysis reveals a common progenitor for thymic cortical and medullary epithelium (268 citations)
  • Generating intrathymic microenvironments to establish T-cell tolerance. (166 citations)
  • The thymic medulla is required for Foxp3+ regulatory but not conventional CD4+ thymocyte development. (140 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • Antibody

His primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Immunology, T cell, Progenitor cell and Cellular differentiation. He undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Cell biology and Population through his works. His research in Immunology tackles topics such as Embryonic stem cell which are related to areas like Thymic Tissue.

Eric J. Jenkinson focuses mostly in the field of Progenitor cell, narrowing it down to topics relating to Precursor cell and, in certain cases, FOXN1, Medullary cavity and Gene rearrangement. Eric J. Jenkinson combines subjects such as Cell, Receptor and FOXP3 with his study of Thymocyte. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Stromal cell, Immune tolerance is strongly linked to Stem cell.
