1995 - Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Gene

His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Molecular biology, Natriuretic peptide and Brain natriuretic peptide. His Internal medicine study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Cardiology. His work on Heart failure and Dilated cardiomyopathy as part of general Cardiology study is frequently connected to In patient, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

Hiroo Imura regularly ties together related areas like NPR2 in his Endocrinology studies. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Northern blot, Complementary DNA, Peptide sequence, Messenger RNA and Gene. His work in Natriuretic peptide addresses issues such as Receptor, which are connected to fields such as Cell culture.

His most cited work include:

  • Different secretion patterns of atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide in patients with congestive heart failure. (559 citations)
  • Endothelial production of C-type natriuretic peptide and its marked augmentation by transforming growth factor-beta. Possible existence of "vascular natriuretic peptide system". (467 citations)
  • Interleukin-6 stimulates the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone in conscious, freely-moving rats (390 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Radioimmunoassay, Receptor and Molecular biology. His research on Internal medicine often connects related areas such as Diabetes mellitus. His Insulin, Hormone, Peptide hormone, Hypothalamus and Somatostatin investigations are all subjects of Endocrinology research.

Hiroo Imura works mostly in the field of Molecular biology, limiting it down to topics relating to Antibody and, in certain cases, Antigen, as a part of the same area of interest. His Atrial natriuretic peptide research incorporates themes from Brain natriuretic peptide and Natriuretic peptide. Hiroo Imura is studying NPR2, which is a component of Natriuretic peptide.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (76.47%)
  • Endocrinology (70.48%)
  • Radioimmunoassay (9.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1991-2014)?

  • Internal medicine (76.47%)
  • Endocrinology (70.48%)
  • Molecular biology (8.66%)

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

Hiroo Imura mainly investigates Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Molecular biology, Insulin and Receptor. His study looks at the relationship between Internal medicine and fields such as Cell culture, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His study in Hormone, Diabetes mellitus, Peptide hormone, Hypothalamus and Thyroid falls under the purview of Endocrinology.

His research integrates issues of Biochemistry, Gene, Exon, Northern blot and Antibody in his study of Molecular biology. The Gene study combines topics in areas such as Mineralocorticoid and Aldosterone. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Atrial natriuretic peptide, Natriuretic peptide and Cardiomyopathy is strongly linked to Brain natriuretic peptide.

Between 1991 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • Different secretion patterns of atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide in patients with congestive heart failure. (559 citations)
  • Endothelial production of C-type natriuretic peptide and its marked augmentation by transforming growth factor-beta. Possible existence of "vascular natriuretic peptide system". (467 citations)
  • Molecular biology and biochemistry of the natriuretic peptide system. II: Natriuretic peptide receptors. (388 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of study are Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Molecular biology, Natriuretic peptide and Atrial natriuretic peptide. His work is connected to Pancreatic islets, Peptide hormone, Endocrine system, Hypothalamus and Growth factor, as a part of Internal medicine. His studies deal with areas such as Receptor and Biological activity as well as Endocrinology.

His work deals with themes such as Genetics, Gene expression, Northern blot, Gene and Exon, which intersect with Molecular biology. His Natriuretic peptide study deals with Brain natriuretic peptide intersecting with Cardiomyopathy and Renin–angiotensin system. His NPR2 study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as C-type natriuretic peptide, Cerebrospinal fluid, Central nervous system, Radioimmunoassay and NPR1.
