Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Law

His scientific interests lie mostly in Angiogenesis, Endothelial stem cell, Cell biology, Vascular endothelial growth factor and Endocrinology. The subject of his Angiogenesis research is within the realm of Cancer research. Endothelial stem cell is frequently linked to Endothelium in his study.

His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Vascular endothelial growth factor C, Lymphatic Endothelium, Morphogenesis and Immunology. His study in Vascular endothelial growth factor is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Basic fibroblast growth factor, Cytokine and Molecular biology. His studies deal with areas such as Proinflammatory cytokine, Internal medicine, Growth factor and Hepatocyte growth factor as well as Endocrinology.

His most cited work include:

  • Vascular endothelial growth factor‐C‐mediated lymphangiogenesis promotes tumour metastasis (840 citations)
  • Potent synergism between vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor in the induction of angiogenesis in vitro (771 citations)
  • The endogenous oestrogen metabolite 2-methoxyoestradiol inhibits angiogenesis and suppresses tumour growth (737 citations)

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

Angiogenesis, Cell biology, Endothelial stem cell, Pathology and Immunology are his primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Basic fibroblast growth factor, Endothelium, Vascular endothelial growth factor and Molecular biology in addition to Angiogenesis. As a member of one scientific family, Michael S. Pepper mostly works in the field of Vascular endothelial growth factor, focusing on Endocrinology and, on occasion, Growth factor.

He works mostly in the field of Cell biology, limiting it down to topics relating to Stromal cell and, in certain cases, Adipose tissue, Stem cell and Mesenchymal stem cell, as a part of the same area of interest. Endothelial stem cell and Plasminogen activator are frequently intertwined in his study. His Pathology research includes themes of In vivo and Lymphangiogenesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Angiogenesis (27.54%)
  • Cell biology (24.25%)
  • Endothelial stem cell (16.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Stem cell (12.57%)
  • Stromal cell (6.89%)
  • Cell biology (24.25%)

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

Stem cell, Stromal cell, Cell biology, Adipose tissue and Haematopoiesis are his primary areas of study. His Stem cell research incorporates elements of Embryonic stem cell, Mesenchymal stem cell and Transplantation. His research on Stromal cell concerns the broader Cancer research.

The Cancer research study combines topics in areas such as Platelet, Chronic wound and Molecular medicine. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cell, Cell cycle and Cell culture. His work deals with themes such as Transcriptome and Fetal bovine serum, which intersect with Adipose tissue.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Factors Influencing the Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell Industry: An Evolving Treatment Landscape. (27 citations)
  • Comparison of human platelet lysate alternatives using expired and freshly isolated platelet concentrates for adipose-derived stromal cell expansion. (14 citations)
  • Adipogenesis: A Complex Interplay of Multiple Molecular Determinants and Pathways. (13 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Law

His primary scientific interests are in Stem cell, Adipose tissue, Mesenchymal stem cell, Transplantation and Haematopoiesis. His Stem cell study deals with the bigger picture of Cell biology. The concepts of his Cell biology study are interwoven with issues in Cell culture, In vivo and Cytotoxicity.

His Adipose tissue research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Stromal cell, Pathology, Injection site and Rat model. His study in the field of Adipogenesis is also linked to topics like Post injection. His Transplantation study is related to the wider topic of Internal medicine.
