Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry

His main research concerns Lipid droplet, Biochemistry, Cell biology, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Seipin. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mutant and Organelle. His Organelle research incorporates elements of Biogenesis and Phosphatidylcholine.

His Cell biology study incorporates themes from Lipid metabolism and Cholesterol, Sterol. His Seipin research incorporates a variety of disciplines, including BSCL2 and Phosphatidic acid. His Endoplasmic reticulum research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Membrane contact site and Protein degradation.

His most cited work include:

  • Fld1p, a functional homologue of human seipin, regulates the size of lipid droplets in yeast. (341 citations)
  • Fld1p, a functional homologue of human seipin, regulates the size of lipid droplets in yeast. (341 citations)
  • Sterol Esterification in Yeast: A Two-Gene Process (237 citations)

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

Hongyuan Yang mainly investigates Cell biology, Biochemistry, Lipid droplet, Seipin and Endocrinology. His work in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Mutant, Yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Mitochondrion are all subfields of Biochemistry research. His studies deal with areas such as Sterol esterification and Biosynthesis as well as Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The concepts of his Lipid droplet study are interwoven with issues in Adipocyte, Biogenesis, Phosphatidic acid, Lipid metabolism and Organelle. Seipin is intertwined with BSCL2 and Adipogenesis in his study. Genetics is closely connected to Internal medicine in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Endocrinology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (53.85%)
  • Biochemistry (40.17%)
  • Lipid droplet (35.90%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cell biology (53.85%)
  • Lipid droplet (35.90%)
  • Endoplasmic reticulum (18.80%)

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

Hongyuan Yang mostly deals with Cell biology, Lipid droplet, Endoplasmic reticulum, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His Cell biology research integrates issues from Cell and Cholesterol, Sterol. In his articles, he combines various disciplines, including Lipid droplet and Seipin.

In his research on the topic of Endoplasmic reticulum, Phosphatidylserine is strongly related with Integral membrane protein. His work on LDL receptor, Insulin resistance, Steatosis and Adipose tissue as part of general Internal medicine study is frequently linked to Fat removal, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research in Organelle intersects with topics in Phosphatidylinositol and Yeast.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mechanisms and regulation of cholesterol homeostasis (121 citations)
  • Rab18 promotes lipid droplet (LD) growth by tethering the ER to LDs through SNARE and NRZ interactions. (84 citations)
  • Human SEIPIN Binds Anionic Phospholipids. (82 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Amino acid

His primary scientific interests are in Cell biology, Lipid droplet, Endoplasmic reticulum, Cholesterol and Organelle. Particularly relevant to Intracellular is his body of work in Cell biology. The various areas that he examines in his Lipid droplet study include Secretion and Function.

He integrates Endoplasmic reticulum and Seipin in his studies. His Cholesterol study combines topics in areas such as Pi and Biosynthesis. To a larger extent, he studies Biochemistry with the aim of understanding Lipid Transport.
