Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • DNA

Kristjan R. Jessen mostly deals with Schwann cell, Cell biology, Neuroscience, Neural crest and Immunology. His Schwann cell research integrates issues from Embryonic stem cell, Myelin, Schwann cell differentiation, Cellular differentiation and Neuregulin. Kristjan R. Jessen has included themes like Peripheral nervous system, Central nervous system and Sciatic nerve in his Cell biology study.

His Neuroscience study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cell and Regeneration. Kristjan R. Jessen combines subjects such as Gliogenesis, Precursor cell and Notch signaling pathway with his study of Neural crest. His work on Glial fibrillary acidic protein and Immune system as part of general Immunology research is frequently linked to Intermediate filament, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • The origin and development of glial cells in peripheral nerves (956 citations)
  • c-Jun Reprograms Schwann Cells of Injured Nerves to Generate a Repair Cell Essential for Regeneration (421 citations)
  • Neu differentiation factor is a neuron-glia signal and regulates survival, proliferation, and maturation of rat Schwann cell precursors. (400 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Schwann cell, Cell biology, Neuroscience, Myelin and Immunology. His Schwann cell research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Embryonic stem cell, Neuroglia, Neural crest, Neuregulin and c-jun. His Neural crest research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gliogenesis and Stem cell.

His studies deal with areas such as Peripheral nervous system, Cell division, Cellular differentiation and Nervous system as well as Cell biology. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cell, Transcription factor and Autocrine signalling. His studies in Myelin integrate themes in fields like Wallerian degeneration, Sciatic nerve, Nerve injury and Glial fibrillary acidic protein.
