Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

Masahiro Sakai focuses on Molecular biology, Gene, Microbiology, Genetics and Fugu. His studies in Molecular biology integrate themes in fields like Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Loop-mediated isothermal amplification, Complementary DNA, Common carp and Carp. He has included themes like Intraperitoneal injection, Immunostimulant, Rainbow trout, Vibrio anguillarum and Aeromonas hydrophila in his Microbiology study.

His Immunostimulant research incorporates themes from Innate immune system and Lysozyme. His work on Genome, Intron and Immunoglobulin heavy chain as part of his general Genetics study is frequently connected to Isotype and Immunoglobulin D, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. He focuses mostly in the field of Fugu, narrowing it down to topics relating to Synteny and, in certain cases, Takifugu rubripes, Base sequence, Cloning, Chromosome 7 and Phylogenetic tree.

His most cited work include:

  • Current research status of fish immunostimulants (1034 citations)
  • An unexpected discovery of two interferon gamma-like genes along with interleukin (IL)-22 and -26 from teleost: IL-22 and -26 genes have been described for the first time outside mammals. (190 citations)
  • The immunomodulatory effects of levamisole on rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. (183 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Molecular biology, Microbiology, Gene, Carp and Immune system. The Molecular biology study combines topics in areas such as Complementary DNA, Expressed sequence tag, Takifugu rubripes, Loop-mediated isothermal amplification and Shrimp. Masahiro Sakai has researched Microbiology in several fields, including Renibacterium salmoninarum, Rainbow trout, Fishery, Seriola quinqueradiata and Vibrio anguillarum.

His Gene study is concerned with the field of Genetics as a whole. His study in Carp is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Endocrinology, Common carp, Cyprinus, Internal medicine and Superoxide. His Immune system study is concerned with the larger field of Immunology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Molecular biology (35.83%)
  • Microbiology (28.75%)
  • Gene (26.25%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Molecular biology (35.83%)
  • Gene (26.25%)
  • Microbiology (28.75%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Molecular biology, Gene, Microbiology, Takifugu rubripes and Innate immune system. His studies deal with areas such as Complementary DNA, Inflammasome, Loop-mediated isothermal amplification and Expression analysis as well as Molecular biology. His Gene research is within the category of Genetics.

His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Plasmid, Flora, Genome, Whole genome sequencing and Fishery. His Takifugu rubripes study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cytokine, Immune system and Fugu. His Innate immune system study introduces a deeper knowledge of Immunology.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Effects of dietary Spirulina platensis on growth performance, humoral and mucosal immune responses and disease resistance in juvenile great sturgeon (Huso huso Linnaeus, 1754). (74 citations)
  • Isolation of lactic acid bacteria from kuruma shrimp (Marsupenaeus japonicus) intestine and assessment of immunomodulatory role of a selected strain as probiotic. (60 citations)
  • Cytokine responses in the Japanese pufferfish (Takifugu rubripes) head kidney cells induced with heat-killed probiotics isolated from the Mongolian dairy products. (60 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

His primary areas of study are Molecular biology, Takifugu rubripes, Gene, Immune system and Microbiology. The various areas that Masahiro Sakai examines in his Molecular biology study include Complementary DNA and Marsupenaeus, Shrimp. Masahiro Sakai interconnects Inflammasome, Nigericin, Immunology, Cytokine and Fugu in the investigation of issues within Takifugu rubripes.

His Gene study improves the overall literature in Genetics. His Immune system study deals with Interleukin intersecting with Interleukin 4 and Interferon gamma. His study explores the link between Microbiology and topics such as Probiotic that cross with problems in Prophenoloxidase and In vivo.
