Overview

Isei Tanida is affiliated with Juntendo University in Japan and has contributed extensively to the fields of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and medicine. Their work largely focuses on subfields such as molecular biology, epidemiology, physiology, cell biology, and neurology. Tanida's research addresses several key topics including autophagy in disease and therapy, advanced electron microscopy techniques and applications, photosynthetic processes and mechanisms, lysosomal storage disorders research, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration mechanisms, biotin and related studies, and advanced fluorescence microscopy techniques.

The scientist has published multiple papers in prominent venues. Notable recent publications include:

  • Structural basis of antiviral activity of caffeic acid against severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus, 2020, Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy
  • Visualization of cytoplasmic organelles via in-resin CLEM using an osmium-resistant far-red protein, 2020, Scientific Reports
  • Two-color in-resin CLEM of Epon-embedded cells using osmium resistant green and red fluorescent proteins, 2020, Scientific Reports
  • Characterization of starvation-induced autophagy in cerebellar Purkinje cells of pHluorin-mKate2-human LC3B transgenic mice, 2020, Scientific Reports
  • Streptococcus pneumoniae triggers hierarchical autophagy through reprogramming of LAPosome-like vesicles via NDP52-delocalization, 2020, Communications Biology

The primary publication venues where Tanida's research appears are:

  • Scientific Reports
  • eLife
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Research Square (Research Square)
  • Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy

Tanida frequently collaborates with a core group of co-authors, reflecting ongoing research partnerships within their fields. These collaborators include:

  • Yasuo Uchiyama
  • Soichiro Kakuta
  • Junji Yamaguchi
  • Chigure Suzuki
  • Juan Alejandro Oliva Trejo

The emphasis on autophagy is apparent in Tanida's research topics and selected publications, indicating a focus on cellular processes relevant to disease mechanisms and therapeutic approaches. The integration of advanced microscopy methods, such as in-resin correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) techniques, also highlights a methodological specialization that supports investigations at high cellular resolution.
