Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

Sperm, Molecular biology, Cell biology, Biochemistry and Genetics are his primary areas of study. George L. Gerton is studying Acrosome, which is a component of Sperm. His study in Acrosome is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Exocytosis, Zona pellucida and Human fertilization.

In his research, Zona pellucida glycoprotein is intimately related to Immunoelectron microscopy, which falls under the overarching field of Molecular biology. His study in the field of STARD4, Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein, Tyrosine phosphorylation and Peptide sequence is also linked to topics like Pregnenolone. His work in the fields of Genetics, such as Transgene, intersects with other areas such as Retrotransposon.

His most cited work include:

  • L1 retrotransposition occurs mainly in embryogenesis and creates somatic mosaicism (299 citations)
  • Regulation of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in human sperm by a calcium/calmodulin-dependent mechanism: identification of A kinase anchor proteins as major substrates for tyrosine phosphorylation (286 citations)
  • Male infertility, impaired sperm motility, and hydrocephalus in mice deficient in sperm-associated antigen 6. (231 citations)

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

George L. Gerton mostly deals with Sperm, Cell biology, Molecular biology, Acrosome and Sperm motility. His research integrates issues of Exocytosis, Biochemistry and Zona pellucida in his study of Sperm. His work on Gel electrophoresis and Tyrosine phosphorylation is typically connected to Adenine nucleotide as part of general Biochemistry study, connecting several disciplines of science.

George L. Gerton usually deals with Cell biology and limits it to topics linked to Flagellum and Spermatozoon. The study incorporates disciplines such as Spermiogenesis, Spermatogenesis, Spermatid, Messenger RNA and Germ cell in addition to Molecular biology. His Sperm motility research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cilium and Adenylate kinase.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sperm (46.15%)
  • Cell biology (45.38%)
  • Molecular biology (23.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Sperm (46.15%)
  • Cell biology (45.38%)
  • Sperm motility (17.69%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Sperm, Cell biology, Sperm motility, Flagellum and Epididymis. His Sperm research is included under the broader classification of Genetics. His work deals with themes such as Acrosome reaction, Acrosome and Biochemistry, which intersect with Cell biology.

His Sperm motility research incorporates themes from Microtubule and Ciliogenesis. His Flagellum research integrates issues from Spermatozoon, Oocyte, Female Reproductive Tract and Cilium. George L. Gerton has researched Spermatogenesis in several fields, including Complementary DNA, Gene, Triosephosphate isomerase and Molecular biology.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Unconventional Gas and Oil Drilling Is Associated with Increased Hospital Utilization Rates. (71 citations)
  • Heads or tails? Structural events and molecular mechanisms that promote mammalian sperm acrosomal exocytosis and motility. (67 citations)
  • Unresolved Questions Concerning Mammalian Sperm Acrosomal Exocytosis (52 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

George L. Gerton focuses on Cell biology, Sperm, Sperm motility, Acrosome reaction and Flagellum. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Epididymis and Endocrinology. Many of his studies on Sperm motility apply to Internal medicine as well.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Immunology, Exocytosis, Gamete and Zona pellucida. His research in Gamete intersects with topics in In vitro fertilisation, Acrosome, Capacitation and Acrosomal matrix. His Flagellum research incorporates elements of Cilium, Ciliogenesis and Microtubule.
