Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine

Her primary areas of study are Astrocyte, Neuroscience, Astrocyte differentiation, Transforming growth factor beta and Cell biology. Flávia Carvalho Alcantara Gomes interconnects Neurogenesis, Growth factor and Neuron in the investigation of issues within Astrocyte. Her study in Neurogenesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gliogenesis, Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Neuroglia.

Flávia Carvalho Alcantara Gomes combines subjects such as Signal transduction and Epigenetics with her study of Neuroscience. Her Astrocyte differentiation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of SMAD and Fibroblast growth factor. Her Cell biology research incorporates elements of Receptor and Cellular differentiation.

Her most cited work include:

  • Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP): modulation by growth factors and its implication in astrocyte differentiation (154 citations)
  • Astrocyte-induced Synaptogenesis Is Mediated by Transforming Growth Factor β Signaling through Modulation of d-Serine Levels in Cerebral Cortex Neurons (141 citations)
  • Emerging roles for TGF-β1 in nervous system development (127 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Astrocyte, Cell biology, Synapse and Astrocyte differentiation. Her work is connected to Central nervous system, Cerebral cortex, Neuroprotection, Neurogenesis and Excitatory postsynaptic potential, as a part of Neuroscience. Her Astrocyte research focuses on Neurite and how it connects with Neurotoxicity and Kinase.

Her study on Cell biology also encompasses disciplines like

  • Cellular differentiation that connect with fields like MAPK/ERK pathway,
  • Epidermal growth factor that intertwine with fields like Protein kinase A and Cerebellum. She usually deals with Synapse and limits it to topics linked to Synaptogenesis and Transforming growth factor. Her work in Astrocyte differentiation addresses subjects such as Nervous system, which are connected to disciplines such as Thyroid, Hormone, Internal medicine and Endocrinology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (46.91%)
  • Astrocyte (45.68%)
  • Cell biology (35.80%)

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