Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Dopamine

Marc G. Caron spends much of his time researching Receptor, Biochemistry, Cell biology, Endocrinology and Internal medicine. Marc G. Caron has researched Receptor in several fields, including Molecular biology and Phosphorylation. Marc G. Caron interconnects Endocytic cycle and Desensitization in the investigation of issues within Cell biology.

Marc G. Caron has included themes like TPH2 and Tryptophan hydroxylase in his Endocrinology study. Marc G. Caron combines subjects such as Heterotrimeric G protein and Rhodopsin-like receptors with his study of G protein-coupled receptor. His research in Dopamine intersects with topics in Monoamine neurotransmitter and Neurotransmitter.

His most cited work include:

  • Dopamine Receptors: From Structure to Function (2832 citations)
  • Hyperlocomotion and indifference to cocaine and amphetamine in mice lacking the dopamine transporter (2098 citations)
  • Beta-arrestin-dependent formation of beta2 adrenergic receptor-Src protein kinase complexes. (1289 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Receptor, Biochemistry, Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Cell biology. His Receptor research incorporates themes from Molecular biology and Phosphorylation. His work in Endocrinology is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Serotonin.

The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as 5-HT5A receptor and Enzyme-linked receptor. His work in Dopamine tackles topics such as Pharmacology which are related to areas like Amphetamine. His G protein-coupled receptor study combines topics in areas such as Internalization and Rhodopsin-like receptors.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Receptor (38.53%)
  • Biochemistry (28.37%)
  • Endocrinology (26.15%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Pharmacology (15.44%)
  • Cell biology (24.62%)
  • Neuroscience (15.30%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Pharmacology, Cell biology, Neuroscience, Receptor and Endocrinology. His Pharmacology research integrates issues from 5-Hydroxytryptophan, Dopamine and Binding site. His Cell biology research incorporates elements of Enzyme-linked receptor and Biochemistry.

He mostly deals with Agonist in his studies of Receptor. The study incorporates disciplines such as Neurogenesis, Internal medicine and 5-HT receptor, Serotonin in addition to Endocrinology. His work carried out in the field of G protein-coupled receptor brings together such families of science as Allosteric regulation and G protein.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Discovery of β-arrestin-biased dopamine D 2 ligands for probing signal transduction pathways essential for antipsychotic efficacy (258 citations)
  • TAAR1 activation modulates monoaminergic neurotransmission, preventing hyperdopaminergic and hypoglutamatergic activity. (196 citations)
  • Structural basis for Smoothened receptor modulation and chemoresistance to anticancer drugs. (161 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Dopamine

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Dopamine, Pharmacology, Dopamine receptor D2 and Dopaminergic. His studies in Neuroscience integrate themes in fields like NMDA receptor and AMPA receptor. The concepts of his Dopamine study are interwoven with issues in Schizophrenia, Neural Inhibition and Neurotransmitter.

The various areas that Marc G. Caron examines in his Pharmacology study include Agonist, Beta-Arrestins, High-throughput screening and Small molecule. His Dopamine receptor D2 study incorporates themes from Arrestin, Dopamine receptor and Signal transduction. G protein-coupled receptor is a subfield of Receptor that Marc G. Caron investigates.
