Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Enzyme

Her primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Cancer research, Metastasis, Transforming growth factor beta and Signal transduction. Her Cell biology research includes themes of Receptor, Biochemistry and Cyclin-dependent kinase. Her Cancer research study incorporates themes from Breast cancer cells, Apoptosis, Immunology and Paracrine signalling.

Her work carried out in the field of Metastasis brings together such families of science as Cancer cell, Pathology, Breast cancer and Tumor microenvironment. Her research in Transforming growth factor beta intersects with topics in TGF beta receptor 2 and Endoglin. Her work deals with themes such as BMPR2 and TGF beta signaling pathway, which intersect with Signal transduction.

Her most cited work include:

  • TGF-beta signal transduction. (7176 citations)
  • Mechanisms of TGF-β Signaling from Cell Membrane to the Nucleus (4729 citations)
  • Cancer Metastasis: Building a Framework (2945 citations)

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

Joan Massagué mainly investigates Cell biology, Cancer research, Transforming growth factor, Metastasis and Biochemistry. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Receptor and Transcription factor. Her Cancer research study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cancer, Stem cell, Brain metastasis and Immunology.

As part of one scientific family, she deals mainly with the area of Transforming growth factor, narrowing it down to issues related to the Molecular biology, and often TGF beta receptor 2, Endoglin, Beta, Bone morphogenetic protein and Cyclin-dependent kinase. Joan Massagué has included themes like Cancer cell, Breast cancer and Tumor microenvironment in her Metastasis study. The concepts of her Cancer cell study are interwoven with issues in Bone marrow and Pathology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (39.34%)
  • Cancer research (34.07%)
  • Transforming growth factor (23.74%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Cancer research (34.07%)
  • Metastasis (25.93%)
  • Cancer (18.90%)

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

Joan Massagué mainly focuses on Cancer research, Metastasis, Cancer, Cancer cell and Immunology. Joan Massagué combines subjects such as Transforming growth factor, Immune system, Carcinoma and Brain metastasis with her study of Cancer research. She is interested in Transforming growth factor beta, which is a field of Transforming growth factor.

Her Metastasis research integrates issues from Tumor microenvironment, Colorectal cancer, Stem cell and Phenotype. She has researched Cancer in several fields, including Progenitor cell and Melanoma. Signal transduction is a subfield of Cell biology that Joan Massagué investigates.

Between 2012 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Metastatic colonization by circulating tumour cells (755 citations)
  • Serpins Promote Cancer Cell Survival and Vascular Co-Option in Brain Metastasis (432 citations)
  • Metastatic stem cells: sources, niches, and vital pathways. (400 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Enzyme

Joan Massagué spends much of her time researching Cancer research, Metastasis, Immunology, Cancer cell and Cancer. Her study in Cancer research is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Brain metastasis, Tumor Escape, Transforming growth factor, Breast cancer and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Her studies in Metastasis integrate themes in fields like Wnt signaling pathway, Tumor microenvironment, SOX2, Tumor progression and Cell type.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cathepsin and Regulation of gene expression. Her Cancer research incorporates themes from Extracellular matrix, Stem cell and Immune system. Her Transforming growth factor beta research is under the purview of Cell biology.
