Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Transcription factor

Xenopus, Cell biology, Gastrulation, Mesoderm and Homeobox are his primary areas of study. He conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Xenopus and Homomeric through his works. His Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Noggin, Bone morphogenetic protein and Cell fate determination.

His Gastrulation study improves the overall literature in Genetics. His study in Mesoderm is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Epiblast, Ectoderm, Signal transduction and Embryo. The Homeobox study combines topics in areas such as Xbra, Molecular biology and TCF3.

His most cited work include:

  • Molecular nature of Spemann's organizer: the role of the Xenopus homeobox gene goosecoid. (716 citations)
  • Interaction between Wnt and TGF-β signalling pathways during formation of Spemann's organizer (430 citations)
  • Intracellular BMP Signaling Regulation in Vertebrates: Pathway or Network? (381 citations)

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

Ken W.Y. Cho mainly investigates Xenopus, Cell biology, Genetics, Gene and Molecular biology. He has included themes like Homeobox, Transcription factor, Gene expression, Growth factor and Embryo in his Xenopus study. His research investigates the connection between Homeobox and topics such as Retinoic acid that intersect with problems in Homeotic gene.

His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Endoderm, Bone morphogenetic protein and Mesoderm. Many of his research projects under Genetics are closely connected to Response element with Response element, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His work carried out in the field of Molecular biology brings together such families of science as Embryonic stem cell, Primitive streak, Microarray analysis techniques, Receptor and Neurula.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Xenopus (52.25%)
  • Cell biology (51.35%)
  • Genetics (32.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Cell biology (51.35%)
  • Transcription factor (16.22%)
  • Xenopus (52.25%)

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

Ken W.Y. Cho mostly deals with Cell biology, Transcription factor, Xenopus, Enhancer and Endoderm. His work on Embryo as part of general Cell biology research is often related to DNA binding site, thus linking different fields of science. His Embryo study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as DNA ligase and Genomics.

His work deals with themes such as Wnt signaling pathway and Gene regulatory network, which intersect with Transcription factor. His biological study deals with issues like Computational biology, which deal with fields such as RNA and Gene expression. His Gene study introduces a deeper knowledge of Genetics.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Foxh1 Occupies cis-Regulatory Modules Prior to Dynamic Transcription Factor Interactions Controlling the Mesendoderm Gene Program. (39 citations)
  • A catalog of Xenopus tropicalis transcription factors and their regional expression in the early gastrula stage embryo. (26 citations)
  • A gene regulatory program controlling early Xenopus mesendoderm formation: Network conservation and motifs. (21 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Transcription factor

His main research concerns Transcription factor, Gene, Genetics, Enhancer and Endoderm. His Genetics study frequently links to other fields, such as Computational biology. In the subject of general Enhancer, his work in Pioneer factor is often linked to Maternal to zygotic transition, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His study in Endoderm is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Xenopus and Cell biology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Transcription Factor Gene and Zinc finger in addition to Xenopus. His work in the fields of Cell biology, such as Endoderm formation and Nodal signaling pathway, intersects with other areas such as Germ layer.
