  • The homeobox gene Phox2b is essential for the development of autonomic neural crest derivatives (667 citations)
  • PSA–NCAM Is Required for Activity-Induced Synaptic Plasticity (548 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Cell biology, Neural cell adhesion molecule, Neurogenesis and Neural stem cell. Many of his research projects under Neuroscience are closely connected to Forebrain with Forebrain, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cell, Endocytosis, Cellular differentiation, Induced pluripotent stem cell and Transplantation.

He combines subjects such as Hippocampal formation, Long-term potentiation, Neural development and Cell adhesion molecule with his study of Neural cell adhesion molecule. His studies deal with areas such as NEUROD1, Neuron, Lateral ventricles, Nervous system and In vivo as well as Neurogenesis. His Neural stem cell research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Progenitor cell, Embryonic stem cell, Dopaminergic and microRNA.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (57.73%)
  • Cell biology (32.99%)
  • Neural cell adhesion molecule (25.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (57.73%)
  • Neurogenesis (24.74%)
  • Neural stem cell (23.71%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Neurogenesis, Neural stem cell, Forebrain and Cell biology. He performs integrative study on Neuroscience and NEUROD2 in his works. His Neurogenesis research incorporates elements of Rostral migratory stream, Interneuron, Cytoskeleton, PAX6 and In vivo.

Harold Cremer works mostly in the field of Interneuron, limiting it down to concerns involving Neuroplasticity and, occasionally, Synaptic plasticity. In general Neural stem cell study, his work on Subventricular zone often relates to the realm of Dicer, thereby connecting several areas of interest. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cell, Cadherin, Cell polarity and Transplantation in addition to Cell biology.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • MicroRNAs in brain development and function: a matter of flexibility and stability (80 citations)
  • A dual role for planar cell polarity genes in ciliated cells (76 citations)
  • Anti-ACSA-2 defines a novel monoclonal antibody for prospective isolation of living neonatal and adult astrocytes (29 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Neurogenesis, Neural stem cell, Forebrain and Neuron. His Neuroscience research integrates issues from Subventricular zone, Progenitor cell and Flow cytometry. Harold Cremer has researched Neurogenesis in several fields, including Process, Period, In vivo and Mouse Olfactory Bulb.

His research on Neural stem cell also deals with topics like

  • Embryonic stem cell that connect with fields like ZIC2, Dopaminergic and Stem cell,
  • Cell type that intertwine with fields like Long-term potentiation, Function, Nervous system and Synaptogenesis. His study looks at the relationship between Neuron and fields such as Transplantation, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Dentate gyrus, Immunocytochemistry, Immunology and Floor plate.
