Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Genetics

Cell biology, Desmosome assembly, Wnt signaling pathway, Cadherin and Cell adhesion are her primary areas of study. The concepts of her Cell biology study are interwoven with issues in Desmosomal Cadherins, Adherens junction and Cytoskeleton. Her Desmosome assembly research integrates issues from University medical, Desmosome, Desmocollins and Plakoglobin.

Her study looks at the relationship between Wnt signaling pathway and topics such as Cell type, which overlap with Stem cell and Carcinogenesis. Her Cadherin research includes themes of Cell aggregation, Cell adhesion molecule and Cell–cell interaction. Her Beta-catenin research includes elements of Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Cancer research.

Her most cited work include:

  • Evidence that transgenes encoding components of the Wnt signaling pathway preferentially induce mammary cancers from progenitor cells (494 citations)
  • Plakoglobin: a protein common to different kinds of intercellular adhering junctions. (454 citations)
  • Cadherins and catenins in breast cancer (290 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Cadherin, Desmosome, Plakoglobin and Wnt signaling pathway. She has included themes like Embryonic stem cell, Cell junction, Cell adhesion, Cytoskeleton and Adherens junction in her Cell biology study. Her research in Cadherin intersects with topics in Cell adhesion molecule and Cell–cell interaction.

Her study in Desmosome is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ultrastructure, Desmoplakins, Molecular biology, Peptide sequence and Membrane protein. The various areas that Pamela Cowin examines in her Plakoglobin study include Desmosomal Cadherins and Cell type. Her Wnt signaling pathway research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Cancer research.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (50.00%)
  • Cadherin (21.62%)
  • Desmosome (20.27%)

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

  • Cell biology (50.00%)
  • Wnt signaling pathway (20.27%)
  • Embryonic stem cell (8.11%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Cell biology, Wnt signaling pathway, Embryonic stem cell, Cancer research and Mammary gland. Pamela Cowin combines Cell biology and Drug development in her research. In her research on the topic of Wnt signaling pathway, Gene expression, Progenitor cell, Transcription factor and Stem cell is strongly related with Hedgehog.

Her work carried out in the field of Cancer research brings together such families of science as Fibronectin, Extracellular matrix, Fibrillin and Transforming growth factor beta, Latent TGF-beta binding protein. Her Mammary gland research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Estrogen receptor and Prostate cancer, Androgen receptor. Pamela Cowin has researched Morphogenesis in several fields, including Integrin, G protein-coupled receptor, Cell adhesion and Transmembrane domain.

Between 2010 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • A systematic screen for micro-RNAs regulating the canonical Wnt pathway. (56 citations)
  • Choreographing Metastasis to the Tune of LTBP (19 citations)
  • Gli Activity Is Critical at Multiple Stages of Embryonic Mammary and Nipple Development (13 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Genetics

Pamela Cowin spends much of her time researching Cancer research, Wnt signaling pathway, Latent TGF-beta binding protein, Transforming growth factor beta and Extracellular matrix. Pamela Cowin interconnects HEK 293 cells, Cell, Regulation of gene expression and microRNA in the investigation of issues within Cancer research. Her Wnt signaling pathway research entails a greater understanding of Cell biology.

Her work deals with themes such as Epithelial–mesenchymal transition, Metastasis, Fibronectin and Fibrillin, which intersect with Latent TGF-beta binding protein.
