Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Internal medicine

Leslie A. Leinwand mainly focuses on Myosin, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Molecular biology and Skeletal muscle. Her Myosin research includes themes of Gene, Gene isoform and Actin. Leslie A. Leinwand has researched Internal medicine in several fields, including In vitro, Hepatocyte and Cardiology.

Her Endocrinology research focuses on Sudden death and how it relates to Troponin T, Troponin complex and Genetically modified mouse. Her Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nucleic acid sequence, DNA and Promoter, Reporter gene, Gene expression. Her research investigates the link between Skeletal muscle and topics such as Function that cross with problems in Signal transduction, Cardiac hypertrophy, Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-akt and Apoptosis.

Her most cited work include:

  • Right Ventricular Function and Failure Report of a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Working Group on Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Right Heart Failure (977 citations)
  • Gene for von Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis is in the pericentromeric region of chromosome 17 (573 citations)
  • Cells: a laboratory manual (550 citations)

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

Leslie A. Leinwand mainly investigates Myosin, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Molecular biology and Cell biology. Her studies deal with areas such as Gene, Gene isoform and Skeletal muscle as well as Myosin. Her Gene study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Genetics.

Her research links Cardiology with Internal medicine. Leslie A. Leinwand combines subjects such as Cardiac function curve, Genetically modified mouse, Heart disease and Disease with her study of Endocrinology. Her study in Molecular biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Promoter, Reporter gene, Gene expression, Mutant and Myocyte.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Myosin (33.56%)
  • Internal medicine (29.48%)
  • Endocrinology (24.04%)

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

  • Myosin (33.56%)
  • Internal medicine (29.48%)
  • Cell biology (17.69%)

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

Leslie A. Leinwand mostly deals with Myosin, Internal medicine, Cell biology, Endocrinology and Skeletal muscle. Her Myosin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mutation, Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, Actin and Gene isoform. Leslie A. Leinwand has included themes like Signal transduction and Cardiology in her Internal medicine study.

Her Endocrinology research integrates issues from Cardiac function curve and Cardioprotection. Her Skeletal muscle study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Endurance training and Function. Her research integrates issues of Heart disease and Gene expression in her study of Myocyte.

Between 2012 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • A small-molecule inhibitor of sarcomere contractility suppresses hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in mice (283 citations)
  • Developmental myosins: expression patterns and functional significance (203 citations)
  • Sex-Based Differences in Skeletal Muscle Kinetics and Fiber-Type Composition (131 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Internal medicine

Leslie A. Leinwand spends much of her time researching Internal medicine, Myosin, Cell biology, Endocrinology and Myocyte. In most of her Internal medicine studies, her work intersects topics such as Cardiology. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genetics, Actin and Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

As a part of the same scientific study, Leslie A. Leinwand usually deals with the Cell biology, concentrating on Pathology and frequently concerns with Extracellular matrix. Leslie A. Leinwand frequently studies issues relating to AMP-activated protein kinase and Endocrinology. Her research investigates the connection between Myocyte and topics such as Gene expression that intersect with problems in microRNA, Molecular biology and Fibrosis.
