Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • Cytokine

Masakatsu Yamashita spends much of his time researching Immunology, Cellular differentiation, Cell biology, Molecular biology and T cell. His work on Natural killer T cell, Pathogenesis, Interferon gamma and Tumor necrosis factor alpha as part of general Immunology study is frequently connected to Toll-like receptor, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Cellular differentiation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Transcription factor, GATA3, DNA-binding protein, SOX4 and T-cell receptor.

His research in Cell biology intersects with topics in Cancer research and Leukemia. His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Enzyme-linked receptor, cDNA library, Histamine receptor and Histone, Chromatin remodeling. The concepts of his T cell study are interwoven with issues in Calcineurin Pathway, Ubiquitin, Cell growth and MAPK cascade.

His most cited work include:

  • Augmentation of Vα14 Nkt Cell–Mediated Cytotoxicity by Interleukin 4 in an Autocrine Mechanism Resulting in the Development of Concanavalin a–Induced Hepatitis (374 citations)
  • Tyk2 Plays a Restricted Role in IFNα Signaling, Although It Is Required for IL-12-Mediated T Cell Function (294 citations)
  • Expression cloning of a cDNA encoding the bovine histamine H1 receptor. (217 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Molecular biology, Immunology, Cell biology, Cellular differentiation and T cell. His Molecular biology study incorporates themes from Histamine H1 receptor and Chromatin, Histone, Chromatin remodeling, Gene. His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cytotoxic T cell and BATF.

His study in Cytotoxic T cell is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both CD8 and Interleukin 4. His research in Cellular differentiation intersects with topics in Ubiquitin, Cytokine, Transcription factor, GATA3 and Allergic inflammation. His studies in T cell integrate themes in fields like Receptor and Cancer research.
