Isabel Varela-Nieto

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

• Gene
• Enzyme
• Internal medicine

Her primary areas of investigation include Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Biochemistry, Cell biology and Inner ear. Isabel Varela-Nieto has included themes like Otic vesicle, Insulin-like growth factor, Neurite, Neurotrophin and Spiral ganglion in her Endocrinology study. Her Cell biology research integrates issues from DNA damage and Cell growth.

Her studies in Inner ear integrate themes in fields like Neurogenesis, Transcription factor, Cochlea and Growth factor. Her study explores the link between Morphogenesis and topics such as Sphingomyelin that cross with problems in Programmed cell death. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Autophagy, MAP1LC3B, Sequestosome 1, Autophagosome and Physiology.

Her most cited work include:

• Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition) (4170 citations)
• Programmed Cell Senescence during Mammalian Embryonic Development (671 citations)
• Development of auditory and vestibular systems (246 citations)

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

Isabel Varela-Nieto mostly deals with Cell biology, Internal medicine, Hearing loss, Endocrinology and Inner ear. Her Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Autophagy, Morphogenesis, Otic vesicle and Cell growth. Isabel Varela-Nieto interconnects Oxidative stress, Homocysteine and Neuroscience in the investigation of issues within Hearing loss.

Her studies deal with areas such as Folic acid and Physiology as well as Homocysteine. Her Endocrinology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Receptor and Parathyroid hormone-related protein. Her Inner ear study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cell type, Senescence, Transcription factor, Growth factor and Cochlea.

She most often published in these fields:

• Cell biology (39.04%)
• Internal medicine (27.89%)
• Hearing loss (34.26%)

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

• Cell biology (39.04%)
• Inner ear (32.67%)
• Hearing loss (34.26%)

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

Her main research concerns Cell biology, Inner ear, Hearing loss, Autophagy and Senescence. Isabel Varela-Nieto focuses mostly in the field of Cell biology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Morphogenesis and, in certain cases, Otic vesicle and Sphingolipid. Her work in the fields of Inner ear, such as Organ of Corti, overlaps with other areas such as Deiters cells.

In the field of Hearing loss, her study on Noise-induced hearing loss overlaps with subjects such as Text mining. Her Autolysosome and Chaperone-mediated autophagy study, which is part of a larger body of work in Autophagy, is frequently linked to Knowledge base and Set, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her Senescence research incorporates themes from Apoptosis, Hormone, Neurodegeneration and Bioinformatics.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

• Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (4th edition) (38 citations)
• Mutations in L-type amino acid transporter-2 support SLC7A8 as a novel gene involved in age-related hearing loss (21 citations)
• Mutations in L-type amino acid transporter-2 support SLC7A8 as a novel gene involved in age-related hearing loss (21 citations)

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

• Gene
• Enzyme
• Internal medicine

Her primary scientific interests are in Inner ear, Autophagy, Neuroscience, Glutamate receptor and Cochlear nucleus. She combines subjects such as Senescence, Otic vesicle and Audiology with her study of Inner ear. Her research in Autophagy intersects with topics in Transforming growth factor beta, Morphogenesis, Growth factor and Cell biology.

Her research in Neuroscience is mostly focused on Astrocyte.
