- Plexiform neurofibroma (13.48%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Cancer research, Neurofibroma, Plexiform neurofibroma, Neurofibromatosis and Cell biology are her primary areas of study.
Her study in Cancer research is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cell growth, Carcinogenesis, Schwann cell, Neurofibromin 1 and Signal transduction.
As a part of the same scientific family, she mostly works in the field of Neurofibroma, focusing on Chemokine and, on occasion, Macrophage and Macrophage proliferation.
Nancy Ratner has researched Plexiform neurofibroma in several fields, including Tumor suppressor gene, Internal medicine and MEK inhibitor.
Her study with Neurofibromatosis involves better knowledge in Pathology.
Nancy Ratner combines Cell biology and Arrestin in her research.
Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:
