Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Biochemistry

Cell biology, Genetics, Mesoderm, Ventral furrow formation and Gastrulation are her primary areas of study. In general Cell biology, her work in Signal transduction is often linked to Vesicular transport protein linking many areas of study. Her Mesoderm research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Function, Anatomy, Embryogenesis, Drosophila and Cell cycle.

Her Ventral furrow formation research includes elements of Drosophila melanogaster, Drosophila Protein and NODAL. Her Gastrulation research incorporates elements of TRIB3, Cell signaling, Mitosis, Cell division and Morphogenesis. Her studies deal with areas such as NLR Proteins, Innate immune system, Gene family, Leucine-rich repeat and Protein family as well as Zebrafish.

Her most cited work include:

  • twist and snail as positive and negative regulators during Drosophila mesoderm development. (453 citations)
  • Cell shape changes during gastrulation in Drosophila (407 citations)
  • The Rho GTPase and a putative RhoGEF mediate a signaling pathway for the cell shape changes in Drosophila gastrulation. (332 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Cell biology, Genetics, Mesoderm, Gastrulation and Morphogenesis. Her Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cell and Drosophila. Her research related to Gene, Zebrafish, Drosophila Protein, Drosophila melanogaster and Genome might be considered part of Genetics.

Her Zebrafish study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology, NLR Proteins, Innate immune system and In vivo. The Mesoderm study combines topics in areas such as Ectoderm, Embryogenesis and NODAL, Anatomy. Her Gastrulation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Epithelium, Cell signaling, Transcription factor and Cell division.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (61.11%)
  • Genetics (28.57%)
  • Mesoderm (22.22%)

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

  • Cell biology (61.11%)
  • Morphogenesis (16.67%)
  • Zebrafish (23.02%)

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

Her main research concerns Cell biology, Morphogenesis, Zebrafish, Cell and Cytoskeleton. Her Cell biology research is mostly focused on the topic Endosome. Maria Leptin has included themes like GTPase, Rab, Membrane transport, Tracheal Epithelium and Epidermis in her Morphogenesis study.

Her Zebrafish research also works with subjects such as

  • Inflammasome that intertwine with fields like Signal transduction, CRISPR and Endogeny,
  • In vivo and related Molecular biology. Maria Leptin interconnects Embryonic morphogenesis, Embryonic stem cell, Protein kinase C, LIM domain and Adherens junction in the investigation of issues within Apical constriction. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Folding, Gastrulation, Epithelial folding and Mesoderm.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • From morphogen to morphogenesis and back (152 citations)
  • A theory that predicts behaviors of disordered cytoskeletal networks (58 citations)
  • Dynamics of in vivo ASC speck formation. (29 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Biochemistry

Maria Leptin mainly investigates Cell biology, Zebrafish, Cytoskeleton, Cell cortex and Signal transduction. The various areas that Maria Leptin examines in her Cell biology study include Apical constriction and Embryonic stem cell. Maria Leptin has researched Zebrafish in several fields, including Evolutionary biology and Domestication.

In her research on the topic of Cytoskeleton, Biophysics is strongly related with Contraction. Her research in Cell cortex intersects with topics in Contractility and Myosin. The study incorporates disciplines such as Pyroptosis, Inflammasome, Pyrin domain and In vivo in addition to Signal transduction.
