Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine
  • Biochemistry

His main research concerns Biochemistry, Internal medicine, Cell biology, Inflammation and Enzyme. His research in Extracellular, Superoxide, Degranulation, Liposome and Zymosan are components of Biochemistry. In vivo is closely connected to Endocrinology in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Internal medicine.

His work carried out in the field of Cell biology brings together such families of science as Mannose 6-phosphate receptor, Chemotaxis, Cell adhesion and Colchicine. His study with Inflammation involves better knowledge in Immunology. The various areas that Gerald Weissmann examines in his Enzyme study include Cytoplasm and Lysis.

His most cited work include:

  • Complement and immunoglobulins stimulate superoxide production by human leukocytes independently of phagocytosis. (639 citations)
  • A mechanism for the antiinflammatory effects of corticosteroids: the glucocorticoid receptor regulates leukocyte adhesion to endothelial cells and expression of endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule 1 and intercellular adhesion molecule 1. (624 citations)
  • Release of inflammatory mediators from stimulated neutrophils. (556 citations)

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

Gerald Weissmann mainly investigates Biochemistry, Cell biology, Inflammation, Immunology and Enzyme. Gerald Weissmann works mostly in the field of Biochemistry, limiting it down to topics relating to Calcium and, in certain cases, Biophysics, as a part of the same area of interest. His studies in Cell biology integrate themes in fields like Receptor, Chemotaxis, Secretion and Cytochalasin.

As part of his studies on Inflammation, Gerald Weissmann frequently links adjacent subjects like Arthritis. His Immunology research focuses on Rheumatoid arthritis and Immune system. His research brings together the fields of Cytoplasm and Enzyme.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (35.66%)
  • Cell biology (12.32%)
  • Inflammation (10.48%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2019)?

  • Immunology (9.74%)
  • Art history (2.76%)
  • Biochemistry (35.66%)

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

Immunology, Art history, Biochemistry, Classics and Rheumatoid arthritis are his primary areas of study. Immunology is closely attributed to Internal medicine in his study. His Art history study typically links adjacent topics like Environmental ethics.

Gerald Weissmann works in the field of Biochemistry, focusing on Hydrolase in particular. His research links Periodontitis with Rheumatoid arthritis. His Inflammation study incorporates themes from Pathogenesis and Antigen.

Between 2003 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Periodontal disease and the oral microbiota in new‐onset rheumatoid arthritis (306 citations)
  • Hypothesis: The Humoral Immune Response to Oral Bacteria Provides a Stimulus for the Development of Rheumatoid Arthritis (285 citations)
  • Americans Sweep Nobel Prizes: Thinking Inside and Outside the Box (70 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine
  • Biochemistry

His primary areas of study are Immunology, Rheumatoid arthritis, Immune system, Classics and Inflammation. His studies deal with areas such as Internal medicine and Rheumatology as well as Immunology. In the field of Internal medicine, his study on Disease overlaps with subjects such as Polysubstance dependence.

His research integrates issues of Periodontitis, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Pathogenesis in his study of Rheumatoid arthritis. His Inflammation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Disease free survival and Antigen. His Antigen study combines topics in areas such as Receptor, Anaphylatoxin and Monoclonal antibody.
