Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cellular differentiation
  • Genetics

Lukas Sommer mostly deals with Cell biology, Stem cell, Neural crest, Cellular differentiation and Neurogenesis. His Cell biology research incorporates elements of Genetics, Endocrinology and Cell type. The various areas that he examines in his Stem cell study include Immunology, Neuroscience and Neurosphere.

His Neural crest research includes elements of Anatomy and Embryogenesis. His research combines Progenitor cell and Cellular differentiation. His Wnt signaling pathway study which covers Neural tube that intersects with Brain morphogenesis and Craniofacial.

His most cited work include:

  • Notch signalling controls pancreatic cell differentiation (1034 citations)
  • Inactivation of the (β)-catenin gene by Wnt1-Cre-mediated deletion results in dramatic brain malformation and failure of craniofacial development (908 citations)
  • neurogenins, a novel family of atonal-related bHLH transcription factors, are putative mammalian neuronal determination genes that reveal progenitor cell heterogeneity in the developing CNS and PNS (499 citations)

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

Lukas Sommer mainly investigates Cell biology, Stem cell, Neural crest, Cellular differentiation and Immunology. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Genetics and Cell type. Lukas Sommer interconnects Cancer research, Melanoma and Neurosphere, Adult stem cell in the investigation of issues within Stem cell.

His work deals with themes such as Progenitor cell, Cell, Embryonic stem cell and Neuroscience, which intersect with Neural crest. His studies in Cellular differentiation integrate themes in fields like Anatomy and Embryo, Embryogenesis. His study looks at the intersection of Immunology and topics like Transcription factor with Schwann cell.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (58.59%)
  • Stem cell (50.78%)
  • Neural crest (50.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Melanoma (20.31%)
  • Cancer research (20.31%)
  • Cell biology (58.59%)

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

His primary areas of study are Melanoma, Cancer research, Cell biology, Stem cell and Neural crest. His study in Cancer research is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cell culture, EZH2, Epigenetics, Metastasis and Immunotherapy. His Cell biology research includes themes of Cell and Paracrine signalling.

His Stem cell study incorporates themes from Reprogramming, Downregulation and upregulation, Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor and TSC2, PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. His work carried out in the field of Neural crest brings together such families of science as Embryonic stem cell, Cell type and Cellular differentiation. Within one scientific family, Lukas Sommer focuses on topics pertaining to Embryo under Cellular differentiation, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Neuroscience.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The epigenetic modifier EZH2 controls melanoma growth and metastasis through silencing of distinct tumour suppressors (185 citations)
  • The Histone Methyltransferase Ezh2 Controls Mechanisms of Adaptive Resistance to Tumor Immunotherapy. (131 citations)
  • Premigratory and Migratory Neural Crest Cells Are Multipotent In Vivo (116 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Cellular differentiation

His primary scientific interests are in Melanoma, Cancer research, Cell biology, Carcinogenesis and Stem cell. His research ties In vivo and Cell biology together. Lukas Sommer combines subjects such as Cell culture, Transcription factor, Metastasis, Cell cycle and Regulation of gene expression with his study of Carcinogenesis.

Stem cell connects with themes related to Downregulation and upregulation in his study. His Cutaneous melanoma research incorporates elements of Immunology and Melanocyte. His Immunology study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Neural crest.
