Frank W. Pfrieger focuses on Cell biology, Neuroscience, Cholesterol, Central nervous system and Neuroglia. Frank W. Pfrieger specializes in Cell biology, namely Synaptogenesis. His Synaptogenesis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Apolipoprotein E and Neuron.

The concepts of his Neuroscience study are interwoven with issues in SOX2 and Neurosphere. His research integrates issues of Biochemistry and Neurodegeneration in his study of Central nervous system. His Neuroglia study incorporates themes from Synapse, Immunology and Adult stem cell.

His most cited work include:

  • CNS synaptogenesis promoted by glia-derived cholesterol (1268 citations)
  • Characterization of the signaling interactions that promote the survival and growth of developing retinal ganglion cells in culture. (752 citations)
  • Synaptic efficacy enhanced by glial cells in vitro. (644 citations)

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

Frank W. Pfrieger mostly deals with Neuroscience, Cell biology, Synapse, Synaptogenesis and Neuroglia. His Neuroscience research incorporates elements of Synaptic plasticity, Neurodegeneration and Neurotransmission. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Glutamate receptor, Retina, Cholesterol and Adult stem cell.

Frank W. Pfrieger has included themes like Maturation process, Neuromuscular junction, Cognitive science and Nervous system in his Synapse study. His Synaptogenesis research includes elements of Cell signaling, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Neuron. His Neuroglia study is concerned with Central nervous system in general.

His primary areas of study are Astrocyte, Cholesterol, Neuroscience, Disease and Cell biology. His work carried out in the field of Astrocyte brings together such families of science as Biological neural network and Neurodegeneration. The various areas that Frank W. Pfrieger examines in his Cholesterol study include Cell signaling, Biogenesis, Homeostasis and Bioinformatics.

As part of his studies on Neuroscience, he often connects relevant areas like Response to injury. His Cell biology research incorporates themes from Promoter, Genetically modified mouse, Central nervous system and Cell type. His Central nervous system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cre recombinase, Mutant, Retina and Mechanism of action.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Thematic Review Series: Exosomes and Microvesicles: Lipids as Key Components of their Biogenesis and Functions, Cholesterol and the journey of extracellular vesicles (38 citations)
  • Reactive astrocyte nomenclature, definitions, and future directions (28 citations)
  • Altered Brain Cholesterol/Isoprenoid Metabolism in a Rat Model of Autism Spectrum Disorders. (24 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Enzyme

Frank W. Pfrieger mainly focuses on Disease, Cholesterol, Neuroscience, Spinal cord pathology and Response to injury. His Disease study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hippocampus and Homeostasis. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cell signaling, Endosome and Cell biology in addition to Cholesterol.

His study in the field of Astrocyte and Reactive Astrocyte also crosses realms of Extramural.
