Overview

Hiroshi Kataoka is affiliated with the University of Tokyo in Japan. Their research primarily spans the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, and Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Over the course of their career, Hiroshi has contributed to diverse topics including neurobiology and insect physiology research, insect utilization and effects, insect and arachnid ecology and behavior, plant biochemistry and biosynthesis, physiological and biochemical adaptations, reproductive biology and impacts on aquatic species, as well as aquaculture nutrition and growth.

Hiroshi's recent publications encompass work focused on insect biochemistry and physiology, covering molecular mechanisms and biochemical processes. Some notable papers include:

  • Functional analysis of ecdysteroid biosynthetic enzymes of the rice planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (2020), published in Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
  • Measurement of 1α hydroxycorticosterone in the Japanese banded houndshark, Triakis scyllium, following exposure to a series of stressors (2020), published in General and Comparative Endocrinology
  • Twenty-hydroxyecdysone produced by dephosphorylation and ecdysteroidogenesis regulates early embryonic development in the silkmoth, Bombyx mori (2020), published in Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
  • The plant-derived triterpenoid, cucurbitacin B, but not cucurbitacin E, inhibits the developmental transition associated with ecdysone biosynthesis in Drosophila melanogaster (2021), published in Journal of Insect Physiology
  • Characterization and functional analysis of BmSR-B1 for phytosterol uptake (2022), published in Steroids

Their work has appeared frequently in journals such as Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, General and Comparative Endocrinology, Journal of Insect Physiology, and Steroids.

Collaborations play a role in Hiroshi's research output, with frequent co-authors including Mari H. Ogihara, Mika Takeshima, Daiki Fujinaga, Xiang Zhou, and Yi-Zhou Ye. These partnerships suggest a multidisciplinary approach involving biochemistry, entomology, and endocrinology.

The subfields of study relevant to Hiroshi's work are cellular and molecular neuroscience, insect science, genetics, molecular biology, and ecology. This indicates an integration of molecular methods with ecological and physiological perspectives to address complex biological questions related to insects and other species.
