Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Cell biology, Autophagy, Programmed cell death, Mitochondrion and Mitophagy. His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Necrosis, Caenorhabditis elegans and Longevity. Nektarios Tavernarakis performs integrative study on Autophagy and Spermidine in his works.

His Programmed cell death study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Chaperone-mediated autophagy, Endoplasmic reticulum, Neuroscience and Intracellular. His Chaperone-mediated autophagy study combines topics in areas such as MAP1LC3B, Autophagy database, BECN1 and Autolysosome. Nektarios Tavernarakis has included themes like Sequestosome 1, Computational biology, Physiology and Autophagosome membrane in his Autolysosome study.

His most cited work include:

  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition) (4170 citations)
  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition) (4170 citations)
  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3242 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Caenorhabditis elegans, Autophagy, Neurodegeneration and Mitochondrion. His Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Biochemistry, Cellular homeostasis, Programmed cell death and Ageing. Within one scientific family, Nektarios Tavernarakis focuses on topics pertaining to Ion channel under Caenorhabditis elegans, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Mechanotransduction.

His work on Autophagosome is typically connected to Spermidine as part of general Autophagy study, connecting several disciplines of science. Nektarios Tavernarakis interconnects Neuroscience and Intracellular in the investigation of issues within Neurodegeneration. He has researched Mitochondrion in several fields, including Mitochondrial Turnover, Mitophagy and Ion homeostasis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (76.95%)
  • Caenorhabditis elegans (41.88%)
  • Autophagy (43.51%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Cell biology (76.95%)
  • Neurodegeneration (29.87%)
  • Autophagy (43.51%)

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

Nektarios Tavernarakis mainly investigates Cell biology, Neurodegeneration, Autophagy, Mitochondrion and Mitophagy. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Transcription factor, Caenorhabditis elegans, Cellular differentiation and Ageing. Nektarios Tavernarakis combines subjects such as Neurotoxicity, Genetic model, Intracellular, Actin and Neuroscience with his study of Neurodegeneration.

His studies in Autophagy integrate themes in fields like Cell and Lipogenesis. His work in Mitochondrion tackles topics such as Transgene which are related to areas like Proteome. His Mitophagy research integrates issues from Neuroinflammation, Hippocampus, Energy homeostasis and Neural stem cell.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mitophagy inhibits amyloid-β and tau pathology and reverses cognitive deficits in models of Alzheimer’s disease (310 citations)
  • Mitophagy inhibits amyloid-β and tau pathology and reverses cognitive deficits in models of Alzheimer’s disease (310 citations)
  • Mitophagy and Neuroprotection. (70 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Nektarios Tavernarakis spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Autophagy, Neurodegeneration, Mitophagy and Mitochondrion. His studies deal with areas such as Intermediate filament, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Disease and Microtubule as well as Neuroscience. The Autophagy study combines topics in areas such as Cell, Transcription factor, Cell biology, In vivo and Degenerative disease.

His Neurodegeneration study combines topics in areas such as Parkin, Neuroinflammation, Cytoskeleton, Hippocampus and Neural stem cell. The various areas that Nektarios Tavernarakis examines in his Mitophagy study include Cellular process, Transgene, Neuroprotection, Metabolic homeostasis and Energy homeostasis. His Mitochondrion research includes themes of Intracellular, Neuron, Neurotransmitter and Neurotransmission.
