Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Harold Weintraub mainly investigates Molecular biology, Myogenesis, MyoD, Cell biology and MyoD Protein. He has researched Molecular biology in several fields, including Complementary DNA, Gene, Mutant and Cell fate determination. His study in Myogenesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nuclear localization sequence, Gene expression and Cellular differentiation.

His MyoD study deals with Enhancer intersecting with DNA-binding protein. His Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Basic helix-loop-helix, Genetics and Proneural genes. His studies deal with areas such as Gastrulation, Enhancer binding, Binding site and Mesoderm as well as MyoD Protein.

His most cited work include:

  • Expression of a single transfected cDNA converts fibroblasts to myoblasts. (2593 citations)
  • The protein Id: A negative regulator of helix-loop-helix DNA binding proteins (1914 citations)
  • Interactions between heterologous helix-loop-helix proteins generate complexes that bind specifically to a common DNA sequence. (1460 citations)

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

Harold Weintraub focuses on Molecular biology, DNA, Cell biology, MyoD and Myogenesis. Harold Weintraub interconnects RNA, Chromatin, Enhancer, Gene and Transcription in the investigation of issues within Molecular biology. His study with DNA involves better knowledge in Biochemistry.

In his research, NEUROD1 is intimately related to NeuroD, which falls under the overarching field of Cell biology. His work on MyoD Protein as part of general MyoD study is frequently connected to PITX2, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. Harold Weintraub has included themes like Nuclear localization sequence, Gene expression and Cellular differentiation in his Myogenesis study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Molecular biology (60.99%)
  • DNA (36.17%)
  • Cell biology (34.04%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1991-2008)?

  • MyoD (24.11%)
  • Cell biology (34.04%)
  • Molecular biology (60.99%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in MyoD, Cell biology, Molecular biology, Myogenesis and MyoD Protein. Harold Weintraub has researched MyoD in several fields, including Protein structure, Repressor and E-box. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Genetics, Internal medicine, NeuroD and Endocrinology.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Embryonic stem cell, Myoblast fusion, Mutant, Enhancer and C2C12. The study incorporates disciplines such as Nuclear localization sequence and Cellular differentiation in addition to Myogenesis. His MyoD Protein study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Gastrulation, DNA, Binding site and Mesoderm.

Between 1991 and 2008, his most popular works were:

  • Expression of achaete-scute homolog 3 in Xenopus embryos converts ectodermal cells to a neural fate. (987 citations)
  • Conversion of Xenopus ectoderm into neurons by NeuroD, a basic helix-loop-helix protein (974 citations)
  • Conversion of Xenopus ectoderm into neurons by NeuroD, a basic helix-loop-helix protein (974 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, MyoD, Myogenesis, Molecular biology and MyoD Protein. His Cell biology research incorporates elements of Proneural genes and Neurogenins. His study looks at the relationship between MyoD and fields such as Basic helix-loop-helix, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His Myogenesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nuclear localization sequence and Cellular differentiation. His work deals with themes such as Enhancer, Gene expression, C2C12 and DNA-binding protein, which intersect with Cellular differentiation. Harold Weintraub connects Molecular biology with T cell in his study.
