Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Jiro Usukura mainly focuses on Cell biology, Retina, Biochemistry, Microtubule and Biophysics. He combines subjects such as DNA, Peptide sequence and Actin cytoskeleton with his study of Cell biology. The Retina study combines topics in areas such as Immunocytochemistry, Retinal and Dystrophin.

His study in the field of Receptor, Wild type and Cysteine also crosses realms of Metabotropic glutamate receptor 1. Jiro Usukura works mostly in the field of Microtubule, limiting it down to topics relating to Spindle apparatus and, in certain cases, Immunoelectron microscopy, as a part of the same area of interest. His Biophysics research integrates issues from Cell culture, Cytoplasm, Cell, Anatomy and Monoclonal antibody.

His most cited work include:

  • Akt/PKB Regulates Actin Organization and Cell Motility via Girdin/APE (335 citations)
  • Three-dimensional reconstruction of the membrane skeleton at the plasma membrane interface by electron tomography. (286 citations)
  • Phosphorylation by Rho kinase regulates CRMP-2 activity in growth cones. (213 citations)

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

His main research concerns Cell biology, Biophysics, Biochemistry, Membrane and Retina. The various areas that he examines in his Cell biology study include Caveolae and Cytoskeleton. Jiro Usukura has included themes like Cell culture, Synaptic vesicle and Phosphorylation in his Biophysics study.

His work deals with themes such as Electron microscope and Crystallography, which intersect with Membrane. Jiro Usukura works mostly in the field of Retina, limiting it down to concerns involving Immunocytochemistry and, occasionally, Molecular biology. His Mitochondrion research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Internal medicine and Endocrinology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (37.43%)
  • Biophysics (27.49%)
  • Biochemistry (22.81%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Cell biology (37.43%)
  • Biophysics (27.49%)
  • Cytoskeleton (11.70%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Biophysics, Cytoskeleton, Membrane and Electron microscope. His research investigates the connection with Cell biology and areas like Caveolae which intersect with concerns in Liposome. His Biophysics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Immunofluorescence, Endocytic cycle and Organelle.

His Cytoskeleton research focuses on Actin and how it connects with Clathrin, Cell and Live cell imaging. His Membrane study incorporates themes from Retina and Neuroscience. His research in Electron microscope intersects with topics in Resolution and Microscopy.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Augmin-dependent microtubule nucleation at microtubule walls in the spindle (72 citations)
  • ROR1 sustains caveolae and survival signalling as a scaffold of cavin-1 and caveolin-1 (42 citations)
  • Low glucose under hypoxic conditions induces unfolded protein response and produces reactive oxygen species in lens epithelial cells (35 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Jiro Usukura spends much of his time researching Cell biology, Caveolae, Cytoplasm, Microtubule and Biophysics. His Cell biology research incorporates themes from Cavin and Spindle pole body. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Caveolin 1, Protein kinase B, Receptor tyrosine kinase and Orphan receptor.

His study in Cytoplasm is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Electron microscope, Actin, Cell membrane and Clathrin. He interconnects Axoneme, Spindle apparatus and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in the investigation of issues within Microtubule. His work carried out in the field of Biophysics brings together such families of science as Transferrin receptor, Transferrin, Vesicle, Drug delivery and Endocytosis.
