Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Microglia, Cell biology, Neuroglia and Receptor. His Neuroscience research integrates issues from Biophysics, Neuroinflammation and Gap junction. Helmut Kettenmann interconnects Chemokine, Purinergic receptor, Central nervous system and Glioma in the investigation of issues within Microglia.

In his study, Stimulation, Parallel fiber and Cerebellum is strongly linked to Calcium, which falls under the umbrella field of Cell biology. The concepts of his Neuroglia study are interwoven with issues in In vitro, Macrophage, Electrophysiology, Pathology and Depolarization. The various areas that he examines in his Receptor study include Point mutation, Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-1 and Diazepam.

His most cited work include:

  • Microglia: active sensor and versatile effector cells in the normal and pathologic brain (2548 citations)
  • Physiology of Microglia (2149 citations)
  • Importance of a novel GABAA receptor subunit for benzodiazepine pharmacology. (1203 citations)

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

Helmut Kettenmann mostly deals with Cell biology, Neuroscience, Microglia, Neuroglia and Receptor. His research investigates the connection with Cell biology and areas like Precursor cell which intersect with concerns in Neurogenesis. His Neuroscience study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Glutamate receptor and Biophysics.

His study in Biophysics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Extracellular, Electrophysiology and Intracellular. In his study, Neuroinflammation is inextricably linked to Central nervous system, which falls within the broad field of Microglia. His Neuroglia study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Myelin and Molecular biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (36.57%)
  • Neuroscience (34.83%)
  • Microglia (31.09%)

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

  • Microglia (31.09%)
  • Glioma (10.70%)
  • Cell biology (36.57%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Microglia, Glioma, Cell biology, Neuroscience and Cancer research. The concepts of his Microglia study are interwoven with issues in Receptor, Neuroinflammation and Downregulation and upregulation. His study on Glioma also encompasses disciplines like

  • Pathology that connect with fields like Precursor cell,
  • Toll-like receptor which connect with Ex vivo.

His Cell biology research integrates issues from Proinflammatory cytokine and Chemotaxis. In general Neuroscience study, his work on Central nervous system and Neuroglia often relates to the realm of Context, thereby connecting several areas of interest. He has included themes like Gene expression, Tumor microenvironment, Signal transduction, Stem cell and Macrophage in his Cancer research study.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The role of microglia and macrophages in glioma maintenance and progression (537 citations)
  • Microglia in Physiology and Disease (443 citations)
  • Glioma-associated microglia/macrophages display an expression profile different from M1 and M2 polarization and highly express Gpnmb and Spp1. (192 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of study are Microglia, Neuroscience, Cancer research, Glioma and Immunology. His Microglia research incorporates elements of Neuroinflammation, Cell biology, Immune system and Monocyte. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Molecular biology, Nitric oxide, Astrocyte and Oligodendrocyte.

His Neuroscience study focuses on Central nervous system in particular. Helmut Kettenmann focuses mostly in the field of Glioma, narrowing it down to topics relating to Downregulation and upregulation and, in certain cases, TLR2 and Pathology. His Immunology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Knockout mouse, Angiogenesis and Ischemia.
