Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Malaria, Plasmodium, Plasmodium berghei, Immunology and Virology. Her Malaria study combines topics in areas such as Public health, Pharmacology, Immunity and Cell biology. Maria M. Mota has included themes like In vivo and Intracellular parasite in her Plasmodium study.

Her Plasmodium berghei study incorporates themes from Cerebral Malaria, Heme oxygenase, Liver infection, Immune system and Gene. Her work in the fields of Immunology, such as Interferon type I, Pattern recognition receptor and Interferon, overlaps with other areas such as Non human primate and Variety. Her Virology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as In vitro, Hepatocyte, Liver stage, Anopheles and Drug.

Her most cited work include:

  • Migration of Plasmodium sporozoites through cells before infection. (452 citations)
  • Heme oxygenase-1 and carbon monoxide suppress the pathogenesis of experimental cerebral malaria (409 citations)
  • Heme oxygenase-1 and carbon monoxide suppress the pathogenesis of experimental cerebral malaria (409 citations)

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

Maria M. Mota mainly investigates Malaria, Plasmodium, Plasmodium berghei, Immunology and Virology. Her Malaria study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Drug development, Pharmacology, Drug and Drug resistance. Her Plasmodium research integrates issues from Liver infection, Hepatocyte, Parasite load, Host and Cell biology.

Her Plasmodium berghei research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in In vitro, Immune system, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium yoelii and In vivo. Her study in Heme oxygenase extends to Immunology with its themes. Her Virology research also works with subjects such as

  • Immunity which is related to area like Gene,
  • RNA interference which is related to area like Gene silencing.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Malaria (58.82%)
  • Plasmodium (50.27%)
  • Plasmodium berghei (55.61%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Plasmodium (50.27%)
  • Plasmodium berghei (55.61%)
  • Malaria (58.82%)

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

Her main research concerns Plasmodium, Plasmodium berghei, Malaria, Immunology and Cell biology. Her studies deal with areas such as Hepatic stellate cell, Intracellular parasite, Liver infection, Transcriptome and Host as well as Plasmodium. The study incorporates disciplines such as Transporter, Virology, Parasite load, Plasmodium falciparum and Proinflammatory cytokine in addition to Plasmodium berghei.

Her Malaria research includes elements of Immune system and Pharmacology. Her research in Immunology intersects with topics in Liver injury and Trypanosoma. Her Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Autophagy and Hepatocyte.

Between 2015 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Nutrient sensing modulates malaria parasite virulence (84 citations)
  • Plasmodium UIS3 sequesters host LC3 to avoid elimination by autophagy in hepatocytes. (42 citations)
  • Adipose Tissue: A Safe Haven for Parasites? (42 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Plasmodium, Plasmodium berghei, Parasite load, Intracellular parasite and Virology. Her Plasmodium research is classified as research in Immunology. Her study connects Vacuole and Plasmodium berghei.

The concepts of her Parasite load study are interwoven with issues in Transporter, Biochemistry, Yeast, Plasmodium falciparum and Heterologous expression. Her work deals with themes such as Cytosol, Effector, Intracellular and Transmembrane protein, which intersect with Virology. Her studies in Hepatic stellate cell integrate themes in fields like RNA interference, Malaria and Membrane protein.
