Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of investigation include Molecular biology, Steroidogenic factor 1, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Transcription factor. His studies in Molecular biology integrate themes in fields like DAX1, Testis determining factor, Sex reversal, Gene and X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita. The various areas that Ken Ichirou Morohashi examines in his Steroidogenic factor 1 study include Regulation of gene expression and Transgene.

The Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Subfamily and Cell biology. His research investigates the connection between Cell biology and topics such as Gene expression that intersect with problems in Gonad, Nuclear protein, Cytochrome P450 and Hormone. His Transcription factor research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Promoter, Reporter gene and Transcription.

His most cited work include:

  • Mutation of ARX causes abnormal development of forebrain and testes in mice and X-linked lissencephaly with abnormal genitalia in humans. (571 citations)
  • A common trans-acting factor, Ad4-binding protein, to the promoters of steroidogenic P-450s (470 citations)
  • Foxl2 Up-Regulates Aromatase Gene Transcription in a Female-Specific Manner by Binding to the Promoter as Well as Interacting with Ad4 Binding Protein/Steroidogenic Factor 1 (336 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Molecular biology, Cell biology and Steroidogenic factor 1. His Endocrinology research incorporates elements of Nuclear receptor and Transgene. In his study, Embryonic stem cell is strongly linked to Stem cell, which falls under the umbrella field of Internal medicine.

His work deals with themes such as Gene expression, Transcription factor, Transcriptional regulation, Gene and Regulation of gene expression, which intersect with Molecular biology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Primordium, Testis determining factor, Gonad and Cellular differentiation. His Steroidogenic factor 1 research focuses on Spleen and how it relates to Endogeny.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Endocrinology (44.44%)
  • Internal medicine (44.44%)
  • Molecular biology (46.91%)

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

  • Endocrinology (44.44%)
  • Internal medicine (44.44%)
  • Cell biology (33.33%)

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

Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Cell biology, Nuclear receptor and Steroidogenic factor 1 are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Endocrinology brings together such families of science as Transcriptome and Progenitor. His research integrates issues of Progenitor cell and Genetically modified mouse in his study of Internal medicine.

His Cell biology study incorporates themes from Transcription factor, Gene, Cellular differentiation, Glycolysis and Testis determining factor. His Nuclear receptor study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Adrenal gland, Hormone and Receptor. His Steroidogenic factor 1 study combines topics in areas such as Gene expression, Transgene, Gene knockdown, Knockout mouse and Cell type.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Contribution of Leydig and Sertoli cells to testosterone production in mouse fetal testes (120 citations)
  • Homeoproteins Six1 and Six4 regulate male sex determination and mouse gonadal development (60 citations)
  • Aristaless related homeobox gene, Arx, is implicated in mouse fetal Leydig cell differentiation possibly through expressing in the progenitor cells. (47 citations)

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

  • Gene
