  • 1983 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

James A. Weston is affiliated with the University of Oregon in the United States. Their primary area of research lies within Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, contributing seven publications in this broad field. Within this domain, they have focused on subfields including Cancer Research, Molecular Biology, Rheumatology, and Surgery.

The research topics that Weston has addressed include MicroRNA in disease regulation, Cancer-related molecular mechanisms, Circular RNAs in diseases, Dupuytren's Contracture and Treatments, Cancer-related gene regulation, and Genital Health and Disease. These topics highlight a diverse engagement with molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying disease processes.

Weston's recent publications comprise a range of studies across several scientific journals. These include:

  • Deficiency of miR-409-3p improves myocardial neovascularization and function through modulation of DNAJB9/p38 MAPK signaling, 2023, Molecular Therapy - Nucleic Acids
  • MicroRNA -409-3p/ BTG2 signaling axis improves impaired angiogenesis and wound healing in obese mice, 2024, The FASEB Journal
  • 354-OR: Attenuation of Obesity-Induced Vascular Inflammation by microRNA-485 in Endothelial Cells, 2023, Diabetes
  • (153) Investigating the Role of NELL1 as a Gene of Interest in Peyronie's Disease, 2023, The Journal of Sexual Medicine
  • Cover Image, 2024, The FASEB Journal

Weston's most frequent co-authors include Furkan Bestepe, Colette Fritsche, Basak Icli, G. Ghanem, and Ruma Pal-Ghosh. These collaborations have contributed to multiple joint publications, reflecting a network of research partnerships.

Weston's research has been published most frequently in venues such as The FASEB Journal and The Journal of Sexual Medicine, with additional publications in Molecular Therapy - Nucleic Acids and Diabetes.

In recognition of their contributions, Weston was named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 1983.
