Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Giovanni Levi mainly focuses on Homeobox, Molecular biology, Neural crest, DLX6 and Transfection. His work is dedicated to discovering how Homeobox, Regulation of gene expression are connected with Branchial arch, Morphogenesis, Enhancer, Transcription factor and Rhombomere and other disciplines. In his research on the topic of DLX6, Homeotic gene and Anatomy is strongly related with DLX5.

The Transfection study combines topics in areas such as Genetic transfer, Gene expression and Transgene. His Gene expression study incorporates themes from Luciferase, Genetic enhancement and Lung. Giovanni Levi has researched Gene product in several fields, including Hindbrain and Cell biology.

His most cited work include:

  • Krox-20 controls myelination in the peripheral nervous system. (666 citations)
  • Disruption of Krox-20 results in alteration of rhombomeres 3 and 5 in the developing hindbrain (409 citations)
  • Craniofacial, vestibular and bone defects in mice lacking the Distal-less-related gene Dlx5 (377 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Cell biology, DLX5, Anatomy, Molecular biology and Endocrinology. Giovanni Levi focuses mostly in the field of Cell biology, narrowing it down to matters related to Transcription factor and, in some cases, Regulation of gene expression. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of DLX5, narrowing it down to issues related to the DLX6, and often Neural crest and Homeotic gene.

His studies in Molecular biology integrate themes in fields like Reporter gene, Gene expression, Transgene and Transfection, Gene delivery. His study looks at the relationship between Transfection and topics such as Genetic transfer, which overlap with Polyethylenimine. His Endocrinology study deals with Internal medicine intersecting with Null allele.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (37.32%)
  • DLX5 (24.65%)
  • Anatomy (19.01%)

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

  • DLX5 (24.65%)
  • Cell biology (37.32%)
  • Homeobox (16.90%)

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

Giovanni Levi mainly focuses on DLX5, Cell biology, Homeobox, Neural crest and Genetics. His DLX5 research includes themes of Morphogenesis, DLX6 and First pharyngeal arch. Cell biology and Transcription factor are frequently intertwined in his study.

His study in Homeobox is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both GABAergic, Brown adipose tissue and Mesoderm. His Neural crest research focuses on Neurulation and how it relates to Border cells. He interconnects Endocrinology and Internal medicine in the investigation of issues within Haematopoiesis.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Developmental genetic bases behind the independent origin of the tympanic membrane in mammals and diapsids (38 citations)
  • BMP-Mediated Functional Cooperation between Dlx5;Dlx6 and Msx1;Msx2 during Mammalian Limb Development (34 citations)
  • Distinct effects of Hoxa2 overexpression in cranial neural crest populations reveal that the mammalian hyomandibular-ceratohyal boundary maps within the styloid process. (27 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Giovanni Levi focuses on Anatomy, Genetics, Cranial neural crest, Craniofacial and Forkhead box L2. His Anatomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gene duplication, Amniote and Developmental genetics. Giovanni Levi integrates many fields in his works, including Genetics and Haplotype.

The various areas that he examines in his Cranial neural crest study include Ptosis, Blepharophimosis, Extraocular muscles, Genetic disorder and Eyelid. He has included themes like Branchial Region, Neural crest, Gnathostomata, Ectopic expression and Morphogenesis in his Craniofacial study. His Forkhead box L2 investigation overlaps with Adenomyosis, Myometrium, FLOX, Ovary and Internal medicine.
