Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Helen M. Blau spends much of her time researching Cell biology, Myocyte, Cellular differentiation, Skeletal muscle and Stem cell. Helen M. Blau combines subjects such as Muscle tissue, Cell fusion and Immunology with her study of Cell biology. Her Myocyte research integrates issues from Multinucleate, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Transplantation and Cancer research.

Helen M. Blau interconnects Cell culture, Regulation of gene expression, Gene expression and Molecular biology in the investigation of issues within Cellular differentiation. Her research investigates the connection between Skeletal muscle and topics such as Adult stem cell that intersect with problems in Progenitor cell. The Stem cell study combines topics in areas such as Embryonic stem cell, Induced pluripotent stem cell, Reprogramming, Systems biology and Regeneration.

Her most cited work include:

  • Dermatologist-level classification of skin cancer with deep neural networks (4904 citations)
  • From Marrow to Brain: Expression of Neuronal Phenotypes in Adult Mice (1626 citations)
  • Substrate Elasticity Regulates Skeletal Muscle Stem Cell Self-Renewal in Culture (1161 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Cell biology, Myocyte, Molecular biology, Stem cell and Skeletal muscle. Her Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Immunology, Gene expression, Cellular differentiation and Transplantation. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Reprogramming and Cell fusion.

Her research in Myocyte intersects with topics in Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Cell type. The various areas that Helen M. Blau examines in her Molecular biology study include Cell culture, Gene, Transfection, Actin and C2C12. Her work carried out in the field of Stem cell brings together such families of science as Embryonic stem cell and Adult stem cell.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (43.88%)
  • Myocyte (25.97%)
  • Molecular biology (21.49%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Cell biology (43.88%)
  • Stem cell (20.60%)
  • Skeletal muscle (17.31%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Stem cell, Skeletal muscle, Regeneration and Telomere. In general Cell biology study, her work on Progenitor cell and Myocyte often relates to the realm of Population, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Her studies in Stem cell integrate themes in fields like Cell, Cell type, Cellular differentiation and Transplantation.

Her Cellular differentiation research includes elements of Mutagenesis, Fluorescence and Cell fusion. Her Regeneration study combines topics in areas such as Anatomy and Adult stem cell. Her study in Telomere is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cardiomyopathy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Dystrophin and Telomerase.

Between 2012 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Dermatologist-level classification of skin cancer with deep neural networks (4904 citations)
  • Objective comparison of particle tracking methods (594 citations)
  • Rejuvenation of the muscle stem cell population restores strength to injured aged muscles (412 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Helen M. Blau mainly focuses on Cell biology, Stem cell, Regeneration, Skeletal muscle and Cellular differentiation. Specifically, her work in Cell biology is concerned with the study of Myocyte. Her Stem cell research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Combined Modality Therapy, Disease and Genetic therapy.

In her research on the topic of Regeneration, Suppressor, Anatomy, Inflammation and Muscle tissue is strongly related with Tissue homeostasis. Her studies deal with areas such as Progenitor cell, Cell aging and Transcription factor as well as Skeletal muscle. While the research belongs to areas of Cellular differentiation, Helen M. Blau spends her time largely on the problem of Regenerative medicine, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Neuroscience, Cell lineage and Enhancer.
