Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Nelson Fausto focuses on Liver regeneration, Hepatocyte, Molecular biology, Cell biology and Endocrinology. His Liver regeneration research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Transcription factor, DNA synthesis, Transforming growth factor and STAT3. His work deals with themes such as Apoptosis, Programmed cell death, Liver cell and Cell growth, which intersect with Hepatocyte.

Nelson Fausto has included themes like Virology, Mutant, Gene, Cell division and Pathology in his Molecular biology study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Endothelial stem cell, Cell culture, Cellular differentiation and Immunology. His studies deal with areas such as Fibrosis, Internal medicine and Hepatic fibrosis as well as Endocrinology.

His most cited work include:

  • Initiation of liver growth by tumor necrosis factor: Deficient liver regeneration in mice lacking type I tumor necrosis factor receptor (819 citations)
  • TGFα overexpression in transgenic mice induces liver neoplasia and abnormal development of the mammary gland and pancreas. (633 citations)
  • TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTORS BETA 1 AND ALPHA IN CHRONIC LIVER DISEASE : EFFECTS OF INTERFERON ALFA THERAPY (601 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Liver regeneration, Molecular biology, Hepatocyte, Cell biology and Internal medicine. His Liver regeneration research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cancer research, Immunology, Cytokine, Cell growth and DNA synthesis. His work carried out in the field of Molecular biology brings together such families of science as RNA, Messenger RNA, Gene expression, Gene and Pathology.

His Hepatocyte study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Cell culture, Hepatocyte growth factor, Cell cycle and Programmed cell death. His research in Cell biology intersects with topics in Apoptosis, Cell and Glutathione. Nelson Fausto works mostly in the field of Internal medicine, limiting it down to topics relating to Endocrinology and, in certain cases, Growth factor and Receptor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Liver regeneration (35.85%)
  • Molecular biology (32.08%)
  • Hepatocyte (25.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2018)?

  • Liver regeneration (35.85%)
  • Cell biology (21.70%)
  • Hepatocyte (25.47%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Liver regeneration, Cell biology, Hepatocyte, Cancer research and Internal medicine. His Liver regeneration research incorporates themes from Cirrhotic liver, Molecular biology, Cellular differentiation and Immunology. His Cell biology research integrates issues from Cytokine, Cell growth and DNA synthesis.

His Bioinformatics research extends to Hepatocyte, which is thematically connected. His Cancer research research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Extracellular matrix, Transforming growth factor beta, Integrin and PTEN. The study incorporates disciplines such as Endocrinology and Regeneration in addition to Internal medicine.

Between 2008 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • New concepts in liver regeneration. (204 citations)
  • Hepatology SnapshotLiver regeneration (101 citations)
  • The transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐β) mediates acquisition of a mesenchymal stem cell‐like phenotype in human liver cells (86 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

His main research concerns Cell biology, Internal medicine, Cancer research, Regeneration and Apoptosis. His Internal medicine study typically links adjacent topics like Endocrinology. His Endocrinology research includes themes of Glutathione and GCLM.

The Regeneration study combines topics in areas such as Regenerative medicine, Progenitor cell, Immunology, Hepatology and Neuroscience. Nelson Fausto works mostly in the field of Cell growth, limiting it down to concerns involving MAPK/ERK pathway and, occasionally, Liver regeneration. Liver regeneration and On cells are two areas of study in which he engages in interdisciplinary work.
