Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Piwi-interacting RNA, RDE-1, RasiRNA and Argonaute. His works in Somatic cell and Gene are all subjects of inquiry into Genetics. His work deals with themes such as Germline and Genomic imprinting, which intersect with Piwi-interacting RNA.

His study in Germline is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Embryonic Germ Cells, Stem cell, Germ cell proliferation and Adult stem cell. Haifan Lin interconnects Translational regulation and microRNA in the investigation of issues within RDE-1. His research in Argonaute intersects with topics in Embryonic stem cell, RNA-induced silencing complex, Euchromatin and MiWi.

His most cited work include:

  • A novel class of evolutionarily conserved genes defined by piwi are essential for stem cell self-renewal (828 citations)
  • miwi, a Murine Homolog of piwi, Encodes a Cytoplasmic Protein Essential for Spermatogenesis (686 citations)
  • A novel class of small RNAs in mouse spermatogenic cells (653 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Piwi-interacting RNA, Genetics, Cell biology, Stem cell and Argonaute. The various areas that he examines in his Piwi-interacting RNA study include RasiRNA, RDE-1, Somatic cell, Germline and Epigenetics. His RasiRNA research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gene silencing, RNA-induced silencing complex, RNA silencing and Translational regulation.

In his study, Embryogenesis is inextricably linked to Embryonic stem cell, which falls within the broad field of Cell biology. In his research on the topic of Stem cell, Cancer stem cell is strongly related with Cellular differentiation. His Argonaute research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genome, Heterochromatin, Euchromatin, Chromatoid body and Small RNA.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Piwi-interacting RNA (66.19%)
  • Genetics (57.55%)
  • Cell biology (52.52%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Cell biology (52.52%)
  • Piwi-interacting RNA (66.19%)
  • Stem cell (46.76%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Piwi-interacting RNA, Stem cell, Gene and Adult stem cell. His Cell biology research incorporates themes from RNA, Embryonic stem cell, Mutant and Somatic cell. His Piwi-interacting RNA research includes themes of Non-coding RNA, Germline, Meiosis and Argonaute.

His work carried out in the field of Argonaute brings together such families of science as Carcinogenesis, Cancer and microRNA. Haifan Lin combines subjects such as Heat shock protein, Schmidtea mediterranea, Planarian and Chaperone with his study of Adult stem cell. His Heterochromatin study is concerned with Genetics in general.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Heat shock protein DNAJA1 stabilizes PIWI proteins to support regeneration and homeostasis of planarian Schmidtea mediterranea (11 citations)
  • Heat shock protein DNAJA1 stabilizes PIWI proteins to support regeneration and homeostasis of planarian Schmidtea mediterranea (11 citations)
  • Pumilio proteins utilize distinct regulatory mechanisms to achieve complementary functions required for pluripotency and embryogenesis. (8 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Gene expression

Haifan Lin mainly investigates Cell biology, Stem cell, Cancer, Piwi-interacting RNA and Targeted therapy. His Cell biology research incorporates elements of Embryonic stem cell and Translational regulation. The Stem cell study combines topics in areas such as Regulation of gene expression, Gene, Embryogenesis, Translation and PUM1.

His research in Piwi-interacting RNA intersects with topics in Heat shock protein, Planarian, Adult stem cell, Chaperone and Argonaute. His Argonaute research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Schmidtea mediterranea and Non-coding RNA. His study in Targeted therapy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Carcinogenesis, Cancer research, microRNA and Transcriptome.
