Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Anatomy
  • Ecology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Anatomy, Chordate, Cell biology, Vertebrate and Cephalochordate. The concepts of his Anatomy study are interwoven with issues in Evolutionary biology, Forebrain, Neural crest, Lancelet and Ectoderm. While the research belongs to areas of Neural crest, Nicholas D. Holland spends his time largely on the problem of Notochord, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Endoderm and Somite.

His study in Chordate is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hindbrain, Spawn, Animal model, NODAL and Branchiostoma lanceolatum. His studies in Cell biology integrate themes in fields like Visceral peritoneum and Dorsal nerve cord. His research in Cephalochordate intersects with topics in Copepod, Crustacean, Green fluorescent protein, Endogeny and Homology.

His most cited work include:

  • A brominated secondary metabolite synthesized by the cyanobacterial symbiont of a marine sponge and accumulation of the crystalline metabolite in the sponge tissue (299 citations)
  • Two classes of metabolites from Theonella swinhoei are localized in distinct populations of bacterial symbionts. (231 citations)
  • Sequence and embryonic expression of the amphioxus engrailed gene (AmphiEn): the metameric pattern of transcription resembles that of its segment-polarity homolog in Drosophila (224 citations)

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

Nicholas D. Holland focuses on Anatomy, Cell biology, Lancelet, Vertebrate and Chordate. His Anatomy research includes themes of Branchiostoma floridae, Ectoderm and Mesoderm. Nicholas D. Holland interconnects Genetics, Endoderm and Retinoic acid in the investigation of issues within Cell biology.

His Lancelet research integrates issues from Zoology, Cephalochordata, Epidermis, Notochord and Cephalochordate. His Vertebrate research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Evolutionary biology, Neural tube and Neural crest. His studies deal with areas such as Forebrain and Hindbrain as well as Chordate.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Anatomy (55.80%)
  • Cell biology (30.94%)
  • Lancelet (20.44%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2021)?

  • Anatomy (55.80%)
  • Lancelet (20.44%)
  • Zoology (12.15%)

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

His primary areas of study are Anatomy, Lancelet, Zoology, Cephalochordate and Cephalochordata. His biological study focuses on Coelom. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sensory system, Branchiostoma floridae, Regeneration, Notochord and Branchiostoma.

His Notochord research incorporates themes from Neurula, Chordate and Developmental biology. His Zoology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ecology, Invertebrate and Phylogenetics. His studies deal with areas such as Enterocoely and Cell biology as well as Cephalochordata.

Between 2008 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Evolution of genetic networks underlying the emergence of thymopoiesis in vertebrates. (137 citations)
  • Retinoic acid and Wnt/β-catenin have complementary roles in anterior/posterior patterning embryos of the basal chordate amphioxus (58 citations)
  • Retinoic acid signaling targets Hox genes during the amphioxus gastrula stage: insights into early anterior-posterior patterning of the chordate body plan. (44 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Anatomy

His main research concerns Anatomy, Chordate, Notochord, Gastrulation and Neurula. His Anatomy study combines topics in areas such as Acorn worm, Branchiostoma and Lancelet. As a member of one scientific family, Nicholas D. Holland mostly works in the field of Lancelet, focusing on Cephalochordata and, on occasion, Cephalochordate.

His research integrates issues of Evolutionary biology, Developmental biology, Cladistics and Deuterostome in his study of Chordate. His work carried out in the field of Notochord brings together such families of science as Pseudopodia, Cilium, Axon and Central nervous system. His study looks at the relationship between Gastrulation and topics such as Hox gene, which overlap with Cell biology, Wnt signaling pathway and Ectopic expression.
