Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Biochemistry
  • Cancer
  • Internal medicine

Leo T. Furcht mainly focuses on Fibronectin, Cell biology, Laminin, Biochemistry and Adhesion. His Fibronectin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Molecular biology, Structure–activity relationship, Matrix and Computational biology. His research in Cell biology intersects with topics in Concanavalin A and Cell.

His Laminin study combines topics in areas such as Immunocytochemistry, Neurite and Anatomy, Basement membrane. His work on Adhesion deals in particular with Cell adhesion and Integrin binding. In his study, Focal adhesion is inextricably linked to Cell adhesion molecule, which falls within the broad field of Cell adhesion.

His most cited work include:

  • Neurite extension by peripheral and central nervous system neurons in response to substratum-bound fibronectin and laminin. (608 citations)
  • Multipotent adult stem cells and methods for isolation (308 citations)
  • The Potential Role of Neutrophils in Promoting the Metastatic Phenotype of Tumors Releasing Interleukin-8 (258 citations)

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

Leo T. Furcht focuses on Fibronectin, Cell biology, Cell adhesion, Biochemistry and Molecular biology. His research integrates issues of Laminin, Extracellular, Cell adhesion molecule and Glycoprotein in his study of Fibronectin. His study looks at the relationship between Cell biology and topics such as Adult stem cell, which overlap with Stem cell.

His Cell adhesion course of study focuses on Integrin and Integrin alpha M. While the research belongs to areas of Biochemistry, he spends his time largely on the problem of Basement membrane, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Glycation. His studies deal with areas such as Epitope, Monoclonal antibody and Polyclonal antibodies as well as Molecular biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Fibronectin (43.50%)
  • Cell biology (36.00%)
  • Cell adhesion (30.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1998-2017)?

  • Cancer research (7.50%)
  • Adult stem cell (5.50%)
  • Immunology (10.00%)

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

His primary areas of study are Cancer research, Adult stem cell, Immunology, Cell biology and Stem cell. The various areas that Leo T. Furcht examines in his Cancer research study include Endothelial stem cell, Signal transduction, Cell adhesion, Metastasis and Extracellular matrix. His Cell adhesion research is under the purview of Biochemistry.

His Immunology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hyaluronan synthase, Fibronectin and LNCaP, Bone metastasis, Prostate cancer. His Cell biology study incorporates themes from Cell type and Ligation. Leo T. Furcht has researched Laminin in several fields, including Molecular biology and Motility.

Between 1998 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Multipotent adult stem cells and methods for isolation (308 citations)
  • The Potential Role of Neutrophils in Promoting the Metastatic Phenotype of Tumors Releasing Interleukin-8 (258 citations)
  • Melanoma chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan regulates cell spreading through Cdc42, Ack-1 and p130cas. (166 citations)

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

  • Biochemistry
  • Cancer
  • Internal medicine

His main research concerns Cancer research, Immunology, Adult stem cell, Extracellular matrix and Therapeutic treatment. His Cancer research research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Endothelial stem cell, Cell adhesion, Hyaluronan synthase and Tyrosine phosphorylation. His Cell adhesion research includes themes of Chemokine and Basement membrane.

A large part of his Extracellular matrix studies is devoted to Laminin. His study in Laminin is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Type I collagen, Molecular biology and Melanoma. His work in Stem cell tackles topics such as Isolation which are related to areas like Cell biology.
