Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme

His primary scientific interests are in Molecular biology, Pathology, Cell biology, Intermediate filament and Laminin. His studies deal with areas such as Concanavalin A, Integrin, Monoclonal antibody and Focal adhesion as well as Molecular biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Extracellular matrix and Metastasis.

His research integrates issues of Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Cellular differentiation in his study of Cell biology. His Intermediate filament research integrates issues from Vimentin, Desmin, Neurofilament and Histogenesis. His Laminin research incorporates elements of Cell adhesion, Immunology and Basement membrane.

His most cited work include:

  • A simplified laminin nomenclature (681 citations)
  • Lymphatic endothelial reprogramming of vascular endothelial cells by the Prox-1 homeobox transcription factor (539 citations)
  • Ulex europaeus I lectin as a marker for vascular endothelium in human tissues. (537 citations)

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

Ismo Virtanen focuses on Pathology, Molecular biology, Cell biology, Laminin and Intermediate filament. His Pathology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Extracellular matrix and Tenascin. His research investigates the connection with Molecular biology and areas like Fibronectin which intersect with concerns in Glycoprotein.

His research ties Microfilament and Cell biology together. Ismo Virtanen combines subjects such as Endocrinology, Basement membrane, Integrin, Internal medicine and Cell adhesion with his study of Laminin. Glial fibrillary acidic protein and Cellular differentiation is closely connected to Vimentin in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Intermediate filament.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pathology (44.32%)
  • Molecular biology (27.36%)
  • Cell biology (25.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2014)?

  • Laminin (20.42%)
  • Pathology (44.32%)
  • Cell biology (25.43%)

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

Ismo Virtanen mainly focuses on Laminin, Pathology, Cell biology, Integrin and Molecular biology. His work deals with themes such as Receptor, Cell adhesion, Immunology and Basement membrane, which intersect with Laminin. His study looks at the relationship between Pathology and topics such as Immunofluorescence, which overlap with Tenascin.

The various areas that Ismo Virtanen examines in his Cell biology study include Epithelial–mesenchymal transition, Cell migration, Cellular differentiation and Gene isoform. His Integrin research includes elements of Epithelium, Monoclonal antibody and Focal adhesion. His work carried out in the field of Molecular biology brings together such families of science as Cell, Fibronectin, Cell culture, Matrigel and Chromatin immunoprecipitation.

Between 2002 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • A simplified laminin nomenclature (681 citations)
  • A SNAIL1-SMAD3/4 transcriptional repressor complex promotes TGF-beta mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition. (465 citations)
  • Expression of Snail protein in tumor-stroma interface. (189 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Laminin, Pathology, Molecular biology and Epithelial–mesenchymal transition. Ismo Virtanen has included themes like Integrin and Cell adhesion in his Cell biology study. His studies in Laminin integrate themes in fields like Neovascularization, Immunology, Glioma, Basement membrane and Cornea.

His studies in Vimentin and Immunohistochemistry are all subfields of Pathology research. His study in Molecular biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Periodontitis, Chromatin immunoprecipitation, Gelatinase, Matrigel and Regulation of gene expression. Ismo Virtanen has researched Epithelial–mesenchymal transition in several fields, including Transcription factor and Mesenchymal stem cell.
