Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer

His primary scientific interests are in Vascular endothelial growth factor, Vascular endothelial growth factor A, Angiogenesis, Cancer research and Internal medicine. His Vascular endothelial growth factor research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Endothelial stem cell, Molecular biology, Growth factor and Immunology. His Vascular endothelial growth factor A study incorporates themes from Endothelium and Cell biology.

Napoleone Ferrara specializes in Angiogenesis, namely Neovascularization. His Cancer research research includes elements of Cancer, Colorectal cancer, Neoplasm, Bevacizumab and Monoclonal antibody. The concepts of his Internal medicine study are interwoven with issues in Endocrinology, Internal iliac artery and Oncology.

His most cited work include:

  • BEVACIZUMAB PLUS IRINOTECAN, FLUOROURACIL, AND LEUCOVORIN FOR METASTATIC COLORECTAL CANCER (9191 citations)
  • The biology of VEGF and its receptors. (7454 citations)
  • Vascular endothelial growth factor is a secreted angiogenic mitogen (4511 citations)

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

Napoleone Ferrara mainly focuses on Vascular endothelial growth factor, Angiogenesis, Cancer research, Vascular endothelial growth factor A and Internal medicine. His Vascular endothelial growth factor study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Endothelial stem cell, Receptor, Growth factor, Molecular biology and Cell biology. In his study, Bevacizumab is strongly linked to Immunology, which falls under the umbrella field of Angiogenesis.

In his research, Nucleic acid is intimately related to Antibody, which falls under the overarching field of Cancer research. His Vascular endothelial growth factor A research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Endothelium and Vascular permeability. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Endocrinology and Oncology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Vascular endothelial growth factor (38.27%)
  • Angiogenesis (36.05%)
  • Cancer research (29.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Angiogenesis (36.05%)
  • Cancer research (29.42%)
  • Vascular endothelial growth factor (38.27%)

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

Napoleone Ferrara mostly deals with Angiogenesis, Cancer research, Vascular endothelial growth factor, Cell biology and Immunology. Napoleone Ferrara combines subjects such as Vascular endothelial growth factor A, Endothelial stem cell, Paracrine signalling and Pharmacology with his study of Angiogenesis. His Vascular endothelial growth factor A research is within the category of Internal medicine.

His studies in Cancer research integrate themes in fields like Inflammation, Antibody, Metastasis and In vivo. When carried out as part of a general Vascular endothelial growth factor research project, his work on Vascular endothelial growth factor B is frequently linked to work in Protein phosphorylation, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Immunology research integrates issues from Cancer and MAPK/ERK pathway.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Developmental and Pathological Angiogenesis (471 citations)
  • Ten years of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy (374 citations)
  • Astrocyte-derived VEGF-A drives blood-brain barrier disruption in CNS inflammatory disease (353 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Internal medicine

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Angiogenesis, Cell biology, Immunology, Vascular endothelial growth factor A and Neovascularization. His Angiogenesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Autocrine signalling, Paracrine signalling, Vasculogenesis, Pharmacology and In vivo. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Endocrinology, Mural cell, Vascular endothelial growth factor, Internal medicine and Sprouting angiogenesis.

His work in Vascular endothelial growth factor covers topics such as Signal transduction which are related to areas like Somatic cell. His Immunology research includes elements of Cancer and Cancer research. His Vascular endothelial growth factor A study incorporates themes from Bevacizumab, Ranibizumab, Retina and Retinal.
