Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cell membrane
  • Neurotransmitter

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Exocytosis, Synaptic vesicle, Vesicle fusion and Munc-18. His Cell biology research includes themes of Vesicle, Membrane potential and Molecular biology. His Exocytosis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Vesicle docking, Neuroscience and Voltage-dependent calcium channel.

His work in Synaptic vesicle tackles topics such as Neurotransmitter which are related to areas like Tetratricopeptide, Chaperone, DNAJC5 and Knockout mouse. His study in Vesicle fusion is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Synaptobrevin, Porosome and Kiss-and-run fusion. His Syntaxin research integrates issues from Biophysics and Neurotransmission.

His most cited work include:

  • Inactivation properties of voltage-gated K+ channels altered by presence of beta-subunit. (758 citations)
  • Identification of a syntaxin-binding site on N-type calcium channels. (387 citations)
  • MUNC13-1 IS A PRESYNAPTIC PHORBOL ESTER RECEPTOR THAT ENHANCES NEUROTRANSMITTER RELEASE (351 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Exocytosis, Cytotoxic T cell, Secretion and Vesicle. He has included themes like Immunological synapse, Neurotransmission and Vesicle fusion, Synaptic vesicle, Synaptotagmin 1 in his Cell biology study. The various areas that Jens Rettig examines in his Neurotransmission study include Protein kinase A and Neurotransmitter.

His work focuses on many connections between Exocytosis and other disciplines, such as Munc-18, that overlap with his field of interest in Kiss-and-run fusion. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Molecular biology under Secretion, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Potassium channel. His study looks at the intersection of Syntaxin and topics like Voltage-dependent calcium channel with Calcium channel and Biophysics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (69.70%)
  • Exocytosis (38.64%)
  • Cytotoxic T cell (21.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Cell biology (69.70%)
  • Exocytosis (38.64%)
  • Cytotoxic T cell (21.97%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Exocytosis, Cytotoxic T cell, Immunological synapse and CTL*. His work deals with themes such as Degranulation, Granzyme, Chromaffin cell, Synaptic vesicle and Granule, which intersect with Cell biology. His Synaptic vesicle research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Neuropeptide, Neurotransmission, Neurotransmitter and Peptide secretion.

His work carried out in the field of Exocytosis brings together such families of science as Lipid bilayer fusion, Vesicle, Cell membrane, Vesicle fusion and Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. In Vesicle, Jens Rettig works on issues like Secretion, which are connected to Catecholamine. Jens Rettig combines subjects such as Molecular biology, Endocytosis and Endosome with his study of Cytotoxic T cell.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • VAMP8-dependent fusion of recycling endosomes with the plasma membrane facilitates T lymphocyte cytotoxicity (55 citations)
  • Identification of a Munc13-sensitive step in chromaffin cell large dense-core vesicle exocytosis (33 citations)
  • AXER is an ATP/ADP exchanger in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. (30 citations)
