Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Internal medicine

Biochemistry, Phagocytosis, Vacuole, Cell biology and Lysis are his primary areas of study. His work deals with themes such as Molecular biology, Electron micrographs and Uranyl acetate, which intersect with Biochemistry. His studies examine the connections between Phagocytosis and genetics, as well as such issues in Macrophage, with regards to Mononuclear phagocyte system, Reticular cell, Peripheral blood mononuclear cell, Precursor cell and Histiocyte.

His Vacuole study contributes to a more complete understanding of Cytoplasm. His studies deal with areas such as In vitro, Granule and Microbiology as well as Lysis. James G. Hirsch has researched Immunology in several fields, including Directional locomotion, Boyden chamber and Biophysics.

His most cited work include:

  • Leukocyte locomotion and chemotaxis. New methods for evaluation, and demonstration of a cell-derived chemotactic factor. (1515 citations)
  • The mononuclear phagocyte system: a new classification of macrophages, monocytes, and their precursor cells (868 citations)
  • THE ISOLATION AND PROPERTIES OF THE SPECIFIC CYTOPLASMIC GRANULES OF RABBIT POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUCOCYTES (564 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Cell biology, Microbiology, Phagocytosis and Vacuole. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Biochemistry, concentrating on Molecular biology and intersecting with Spleen and Phosphorylation. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ultrastructure and Cell.

His research in Microbiology intersects with topics in Blood proteins, Bacillus megaterium, In vitro and Blood serum. His Phagocytosis study is associated with Immunology. His study in Vacuole is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Red Cell, Cell membrane, Endoplasmic reticulum, Cytochemistry and Pinocytosis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (40.85%)
  • Cell biology (28.17%)
  • Microbiology (22.54%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1968-2019)?

  • Biochemistry (40.85%)
  • Cell biology (28.17%)
  • Phagocytosis (19.72%)

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

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Cell biology, Phagocytosis, In vitro and Vacuole. The concepts of his Biochemistry study are interwoven with issues in Molecular biology and Azurophilic granule. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ultrastructure and Cell.

His Phagocytosis research incorporates elements of Mononuclear phagocyte system, Macrophage and Toxoplasma gondii. His work carried out in the field of In vitro brings together such families of science as Microbiology and Mycoplasma pulmonis. The subject of his Vacuole research is within the realm of Cytoplasm.

Between 1968 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Leukocyte locomotion and chemotaxis. New methods for evaluation, and demonstration of a cell-derived chemotactic factor. (1515 citations)
  • The mononuclear phagocyte system: a new classification of macrophages, monocytes, and their precursor cells (868 citations)
  • The interaction between Toxoplasma gondii and mammalian cells. II. The absence of lysosomal fusion with phagocytic vacuoles containing living parasites. (428 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Internal medicine

Phagocytosis, Cell biology, Cytoplasm, Vacuole and Immunology are his primary areas of study. The various areas that he examines in his Phagocytosis study include Phosphorylation and Cytochalasin B. His Cell biology research incorporates themes from Leucine, Deoxyglucose, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Glucosamine.

James G. Hirsch focuses mostly in the field of Cytoplasm, narrowing it down to matters related to Cytochemistry and, in some cases, Phagosome-lysosome fusion, Endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. His Vacuole study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pinocytosis and Basophilic. His Immunology study combines topics in areas such as Cell and Macrophage.
