Overview

Fumiaki Tanaka is affiliated with Yokohama City University in Japan and has contributed extensively to research in the fields of medicine, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and neuroscience. Their work spans multiple subfields, including neurology, molecular biology, cellular and molecular neuroscience, genetics, and cardiology and cardiovascular medicine.

The main topics of Tanaka's research include genetic neurodegenerative diseases, Parkinson's disease mechanisms and treatments, mitochondrial function and pathology, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis research, neurological diseases and metabolism, peripheral neuropathies and disorders, and neurological disorders and treatments.

Frequent publication venues for Tanaka's research are Frontiers in Neurology, Internal Medicine, Journal of the Neurological Sciences, Brain, and Molecular Brain. These journals reflect the scientist's focus on neurological and molecular studies in health and disease contexts.

Tanaka has collaborated regularly with several co-authors, including Hiroshi Doi, Hideyuki Takeuchi, Yuichi Higashiyama, Misako Kunii, and Mikiko Tada. These collaborations have resulted in shared contributions to the field with notable frequency.

Their recent papers illustrate a focus on neurological genetics and advanced sequencing technologies:

  • CGG expansion in NOTCH2NLC is associated with oculopharyngodistal myopathy with neurological manifestations, 2020, Acta Neuropathologica Communications
  • Rapid and comprehensive diagnostic method for repeat expansion diseases using nanopore sequencing, 2022, npj Genomic Medicine
  • Long-read sequencing identifies the pathogenic nucleotide repeat expansion in RFC1 in a Japanese case of CANVAS, 2020, Journal of Human Genetics
  • Complete sequencing of expanded SAMD12 repeats by long-read sequencing and Cas9-mediated enrichment, 2021, Brain
  • CCR2 is localized in microglia and neurons, as well as infiltrating monocytes, in the lumbar spinal cord of ALS mice, 2020, Molecular Brain

These publications highlight methods such as long-read sequencing and nanopore sequencing for diagnosing and understanding repeat expansion diseases and neurodegenerative disorders.
