Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Biochemistry
  • Cell biology
  • Microtubule

Lukas C. Kapitein focuses on Microtubule, Cell biology, Kinesin, Motor protein and Cytoskeleton. His work carried out in the field of Microtubule brings together such families of science as Microtubule nucleation and Cell polarity. His Microtubule nucleation research includes elements of Microtubule organizing center, Adenosine triphosphate, Spindle apparatus and Motility.

His research on Cell biology focuses in particular on Axon. Kinesin is often connected to Spinal cord injury in his work. In his research, Myosin is intimately related to Actin, which falls under the overarching field of Cytoskeleton.

His most cited work include:

  • The bipolar mitotic kinesin Eg5 moves on both microtubules that it crosslinks (514 citations)
  • Dynamic Microtubules Regulate Dendritic Spine Morphology and Synaptic Plasticity (459 citations)
  • Microtubule Stabilization Reduces Scarring and Causes Axon Regeneration After Spinal Cord Injury (389 citations)

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

Lukas C. Kapitein mainly focuses on Microtubule, Cell biology, Kinesin, Biophysics and Motor protein. His Microtubule research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Spindle apparatus, Motility and Cytoskeleton. His studies deal with areas such as Microtubule nucleation and Neuron as well as Cell biology.

His work deals with themes such as Vesicle, Secretory Vesicle, In vitro and Molecular motor, which intersect with Kinesin. Lukas C. Kapitein has included themes like Cell division and Microscopy in his Biophysics study. Lukas C. Kapitein interconnects Neuronal transport, Organelle and Myosin in the investigation of issues within Motor protein.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Microtubule (71.20%)
  • Cell biology (69.60%)
  • Kinesin (47.20%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Microtubule (71.20%)
  • Cell biology (69.60%)
  • Kinesin (47.20%)

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

Lukas C. Kapitein mostly deals with Microtubule, Cell biology, Kinesin, Biophysics and Cytoskeleton. Many of his research projects under Microtubule are closely connected to Robustness with Robustness, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Motor protein research incorporates themes from Microtubule minus-end binding, Binding domain, Microtubule minus-end, KIFC1 and Dendritic microtubule.

His work in the fields of Cell biology, such as Axon, Endosome and Axoplasmic transport, intersects with other areas such as Nutritional status. The Kinesin study combines topics in areas such as Vesicle, Secretory Vesicle, Lower affinity and Organelle. The various areas that he examines in his Biophysics study include Tubulin and Motility.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • MAP7 family proteins regulate kinesin-1 recruitment and activation. (42 citations)
  • Feedback-Driven Assembly of the Axon Initial Segment (21 citations)
  • Cellular logistics : Unraveling the interplay between microtubule organization and intracellular transport (18 citations)

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

  • Biochemistry
  • Genetics
  • Cell biology

Lukas C. Kapitein mainly investigates Microtubule, Cell biology, Biophysics, Axon and Cytoskeleton. Lukas C. Kapitein performs integrative Microtubule and Linker research in his work. In the field of Cell biology, his study on Axoplasmic transport and Kinesin overlaps with subjects such as Allosteric effect.

His Kinesin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Vesicle, Membrane and Endoplasmic reticulum. His Biophysics research incorporates elements of STIM1, Tubulin and Epothilone. His Cytoskeleton study combines topics in areas such as Spindle apparatus, Cilium, Developmental biology, Motor protein and Cell type.
