Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Her main research concerns Genetics, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Dystrophin, Utrophin and Muscular dystrophy. Her study in Gene, X chromosome, Locus, Mutation and Genetic linkage is done as part of Genetics. Her research investigates the link between Duchenne muscular dystrophy and topics such as Transgene that cross with problems in Downregulation and upregulation.

Her Dystrophin research incorporates elements of Sarcolemma, Molecular biology, ITGA7 and Cell biology. As a part of the same scientific family, she mostly works in the field of Utrophin, focusing on Gene expression and, on occasion, Regulation of gene expression. Her work deals with themes such as Exon skipping, Genetic enhancement, Bioinformatics and Myopathy, which intersect with Muscular dystrophy.

Her most cited work include:

  • Function and genetics of dystrophin and dystrophin-related proteins in muscle (949 citations)
  • A gene (PEX) with homologies to endopeptidases is mutated in patients with X–linked hypophosphatemic rickets (873 citations)
  • Utrophin-Dystrophin-Deficient Mice as a Model for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (636 citations)

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

Kay E. Davies focuses on Genetics, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Utrophin, Dystrophin and Molecular biology. Her research related to X chromosome, Gene, Locus, Genetic linkage and Gene mapping might be considered part of Genetics. Her X chromosome study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Chromosomal fragile site and Restriction fragment length polymorphism.

Her work focuses on many connections between Duchenne muscular dystrophy and other disciplines, such as Muscular dystrophy, that overlap with her field of interest in Pathology. Her study in Utrophin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both mdx mouse, ITGA7 and Cell biology. Kay E. Davies interconnects Sarcolemma, Exon skipping, Neuromuscular junction and Transgene in the investigation of issues within Dystrophin.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (42.05%)
  • Duchenne muscular dystrophy (27.46%)
  • Utrophin (24.13%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Duchenne muscular dystrophy (27.46%)
  • Utrophin (24.13%)
  • Dystrophin (23.55%)

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

Kay E. Davies mainly focuses on Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Utrophin, Dystrophin, Muscular dystrophy and Bioinformatics. Her Duchenne muscular dystrophy study combines topics in areas such as Exon skipping, Cancer research, Clinical trial and Disease. The study incorporates disciplines such as mdx mouse, Downregulation and upregulation, Molecular biology, Pharmacology and In vivo in addition to Utrophin.

Kay E. Davies has included themes like Context, Proteomics and Cell biology, Myosin in her Dystrophin study. Her Muscular dystrophy research is under the purview of Genetics. Her study looks at the intersection of Bioinformatics and topics like Wasting with Muscle weakness.

Between 2010 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Foxp2 regulates gene networks implicated in neurite outgrowth in the developing brain. (220 citations)
  • Hsp72 preserves muscle function and slows progression of severe muscular dystrophy (214 citations)
  • Functional correction in mouse models of muscular dystrophy using exon-skipping tricyclo-DNA oligomers (193 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Mutation

Her primary areas of study are Muscular dystrophy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Dystrophin, Utrophin and Genetics. The Muscular dystrophy study combines topics in areas such as Exon skipping, Cardiomyopathy, Gene and Pathology. She combines subjects such as Endocrinology, Clinical trial, Bioinformatics and Transgene with her study of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Her research in Dystrophin intersects with topics in Muscle weakness, Disease, ITGA7 and Pathogenesis. Her Utrophin study incorporates themes from Cancer research, Downregulation and upregulation, Molecular biology and Pharmacology, Dosing. Her Genetics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Oxidative stress and Cell biology.
