Overview

Keiji Iwatsuki is a researcher affiliated with Okayama University in Japan, specializing in Medicine with a significant focus on pathology, oncology, immunology, and dermatology. Their body of work spans 36 publications in the medical field, with notable contributions in subfields such as Pathology and Forensic Medicine, Oncology, Immunology, Dermatology, and Nuclear and High Energy Physics.

The researcher's recent publications reflect a focus on viral-associated cancers, cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders, autoimmune bullous skin diseases, lymphoma diagnosis and treatment, and immune cell function and interaction. Their topics of study also include autoimmune and inflammatory disorders and Parvovirus B19 infection studies.

Keiji Iwatsuki's recent papers include:

  • "Updated guidelines for chronic active Epstein-Barr virus disease," 2023, International Journal of Hematology
  • "Improved quality of life of patients with generalized pustular psoriasis in Japan: A cross-sectional survey," 2020, The Journal of Dermatology
  • "Functional Depletion of HSP72 by siRNA and Quercetin Enhances Vorinostat-Induced Apoptosis in an HSP72-Overexpressing Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma Cell Line, Hut78," 2021, International Journal of Molecular Sciences
  • "Diagnostic and disease severity determination criteria for hydroa vacciniforme lymphoproliferative disorders and severe mosquito bite allergy," 2023, The Journal of Dermatology
  • "The aim of the measurement of Epstein-Barr virus DNA in hydroa vacciniforme and hypersensitivity to mosquito bites," 2020, Journal of Medical Virology

The publication venues where Iwatsuki has frequently contributed include:

  • The Journal of Dermatology (6 publications)
  • International Journal of Hematology (4 publications)
  • International Journal of Molecular Sciences (1 publication)
  • Experimental Dermatology (1 publication)
  • Journal of Medical Virology (1 publication)
