Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cell membrane
  • Amino acid

Lois S. Weisman focuses on Cell biology, Phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate, Vacuole, Mutant and Phosphatidylinositol. Her research combines Cell membrane and Cell biology. Her studies in Phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate integrate themes in fields like Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and Kinase activity.

Her Vacuole research incorporates elements of Cell cycle and Vacuole inheritance. Her Vacuole inheritance research is within the category of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Her work carried out in the field of Mutant brings together such families of science as Membrane protein and Myosin.

Her most cited work include:

  • PI(3,5)P2 controls membrane trafficking by direct activation of mucolipin Ca2+ release channels in the endolysosome (387 citations)
  • Mutation of FIG4 causes neurodegeneration in the pale tremor mouse and patients with CMT4J (372 citations)
  • Fab1p is essential for PtdIns(3)P 5-kinase activity and the maintenance of vacuolar size and membrane homeostasis (352 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Cell biology, Vacuole, Vacuole inheritance, PIKFYVE and Phosphatidylinositol. Lois S. Weisman has researched Cell biology in several fields, including Biochemistry and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Her Vacuole research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Membrane protein, Myristoylation, Mutant and Cell division.

Her Vacuole inheritance research includes themes of Fungal genetics, Molecular motor, Actin cytoskeleton and Organelle inheritance. Mutation and Scaffold protein is closely connected to Phosphatase in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of PIKFYVE. Her research in Phosphatidylinositol intersects with topics in Pi, Cell signaling, Protein kinase A and TORC1 signaling.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (89.11%)
  • Vacuole (54.46%)
  • Vacuole inheritance (32.67%)

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

  • Cell biology (89.11%)
  • PIKFYVE (25.74%)
  • Kinase (15.84%)

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

Lois S. Weisman mostly deals with Cell biology, PIKFYVE, Kinase, Vacuole and Phosphatidylinositol. Phosphatase, Organelle, Endosome, Molecular motor and Signal transducing adaptor protein are the core of her Cell biology study. Her research investigates the link between Organelle and topics such as Myosin that cross with problems in Transport protein and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Her Kinase research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cell, Cancer research, Embryonic stem cell and Mutant. Lois S. Weisman interconnects Pi, Endocytosis and Biosynthesis in the investigation of issues within Vacuole. Her studies deal with areas such as Endocytic cycle, Cell signaling and Intracellular as well as Phosphatidylinositol.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • PI5P and PI(3,5)P2: Minor, but Essential Phosphoinositides. (48 citations)
  • Endosomal PI(3)P regulation by the COMMD/CCDC22/CCDC93 (CCC) complex controls membrane protein recycling (20 citations)
  • Inhibition of PIP4Kγ ameliorates the pathological effects of mutant huntingtin protein (20 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cell membrane
  • Amino acid

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Phosphatidylinositol, PIKFYVE, Signal transduction and Vacuole. Her Cell biology study focuses on Endosome in particular. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Biogenesis, PMEL and Actin.

Her Signal transduction study deals with Protein domain intersecting with Kinase. Lois S. Weisman mostly deals with Phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate in her studies of Kinase. The various areas that Lois S. Weisman examines in her Vacuole study include Biosynthesis, Pi, Endocytic cycle, Endocytosis and Intracellular.
