Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Central nervous system

Marcelo J. Villar mainly investigates Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Galanin, Neuropeptide and Calcitonin gene-related peptide. Marcelo J. Villar combines Internal medicine and In situ hybridization in his research. The study incorporates disciplines such as Galanin receptor 2, Galanin receptor 1 and Nerve growth factor in addition to Endocrinology.

His Galanin research includes themes of Sciatic nerve, Dorsal root ganglion and Withdrawal reflex, Reflex. His Neuropeptide study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Spinal cord. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Substance P under Calcitonin gene-related peptide, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Pathology and Stimulation.

His most cited work include:

  • Expression of c-Fos immunoreactivity in transmitter-characterized neurons after stress (491 citations)
  • Neuropeptide expression in rat dorsal root ganglion cells and spinal cord after peripheral nerve injury with special reference to galanin. (439 citations)
  • Increase of galanin-like immunoreactivity in rat dorsal root ganglion cells after peripheral axotomy. (426 citations)

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

Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Neuropeptide, Galanin and Anatomy are his primary areas of study. Marcelo J. Villar performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of Endocrinology and Chemistry via his papers. In his articles, Marcelo J. Villar combines various disciplines, including Internal medicine and In situ hybridization.

His study in Neuropeptide is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Molecular biology and Neuroscience, Nervous system. His Galanin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sensory neuron, Preoptic area, Substance P and Withdrawal reflex, Reflex. His Anatomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Serotonin, Central nervous system and Spinal cord.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Endocrinology (52.80%)
  • Internal medicine (52.80%)
  • Neuropeptide (28.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Allodynia (11.20%)
  • Neuropathic pain (11.20%)
  • Nursing (3.20%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Allodynia, Neuropathic pain, Nursing, Family medicine and Critically ill. He has included themes like Inflammation, Anesthesia, Glial fibrillary acidic protein and Pharmacology in his Allodynia study. Marcelo J. Villar interconnects Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Bone marrow, Mesenchymal stem cell and Spinal cord in the investigation of issues within Neuropathic pain.

Marcelo J. Villar works mostly in the field of Endocrinology, limiting it down to topics relating to Galanin and, in certain cases, Chronic pain, as a part of the same area of interest. His study in the field of Dorsal root ganglion is also linked to topics like TRPV1. His work on End-of-life care and Palliative care as part of general Nursing research is often related to Curriculum and Latin Americans, thus linking different fields of science.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A perspective of end-of-life care education in undergraduate medical and nursing students in Buenos Aires, Argentina. (28 citations)
  • Spinal neuropeptide expression and neuropathic behavior in the acute and chronic phases after spinal cord injury: effects of progesterone administration (12 citations)
  • Medical Students' Palliative Care Education in a Latin American University: A Three-Year Experience at Austral University in Buenos Aires, Argentina (12 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Central nervous system

Marcelo J. Villar focuses on Spinal cord, Nursing, Allodynia, Neuropathic pain and Palliative care. His research integrates issues of Pathology, Calcitonin gene-related peptide, Anatomy and Visceral pain in his study of Spinal cord. His Terminally ill, End-of-life care, Team nursing and Nurse education study in the realm of Nursing interacts with subjects such as Perspective.

Marcelo J. Villar combines subjects such as Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Chemotherapy, Pharmacology and Glial fibrillary acidic protein with his study of Allodynia. Marcelo J. Villar has researched Neuropathic pain in several fields, including Internal medicine, Neuroprotection, Neuropeptide, Galanin and Chronic pain. His Family medicine research extends to Palliative care, which is thematically connected.
