Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme

Paul H. Plotz focuses on Internal medicine, Immunology, Myositis, Dermatomyositis and Polymyositis. His Internal medicine research incorporates elements of Gastroenterology, Lupus erythematosus and Endocrinology. His Endocrinology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Acid alpha-glucosidase, Glycogen storage disease type II, Mononuclear phagocyte system and Immune system.

The Immunology study combines topics in areas such as Myocyte and Skeletal muscle. Paul H. Plotz is interested in Inclusion body myositis, which is a branch of Myositis. His studies in Dermatomyositis integrate themes in fields like Physical therapy, Albumin and Apheresis.

His most cited work include:

  • Therapy of lupus nephritis. Controlled trial of prednisone and cytotoxic drugs. (963 citations)
  • A new approach to the classification of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy: myositis-specific autoantibodies define useful homogeneous patient groups. (765 citations)
  • Defective Reticuloendothelial System Fc-Receptor Function in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (443 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Immunology, Internal medicine, Myositis, Molecular biology and Dermatomyositis. Dermatology and Pathogenesis is closely connected to Disease in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Immunology. His work carried out in the field of Internal medicine brings together such families of science as Gastroenterology, Lupus erythematosus and Endocrinology.

His work focuses on many connections between Endocrinology and other disciplines, such as Glycogen storage disease type II, that overlap with his field of interest in Autophagy, Myopathy and Biochemistry. His Myositis research includes elements of Inflammation, Muscle biopsy and Connective tissue disease. He focuses mostly in the field of Dermatomyositis, narrowing it down to topics relating to Polymyositis and, in certain cases, Surgery, Etiology and Muscle weakness.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (29.86%)
  • Internal medicine (26.54%)
  • Myositis (18.01%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2020)?

  • Immunology (29.86%)
  • Skeletal muscle (11.37%)
  • Glycogen storage disease type II (13.27%)

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

Paul H. Plotz mainly investigates Immunology, Skeletal muscle, Glycogen storage disease type II, Autophagy and Myositis. His studies examine the connections between Immunology and genetics, as well as such issues in Disease, with regards to Pathogenesis and Catabolism. Paul H. Plotz has researched Skeletal muscle in several fields, including Glycogen, Myopathy, Muscle contraction and Enzyme replacement therapy.

His study explores the link between Glycogen storage disease type II and topics such as Cardiac muscle that cross with problems in Respiratory failure and Molecular biology. His study in Myositis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Polymyositis, Dermatomyositis and Muscle biopsy. His Internal medicine study frequently links to related topics such as Gastroenterology.

Between 2002 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Enhanced autoantigen expression in regenerating muscle cells in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (293 citations)
  • Activation of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response in autoimmune myositis: Potential role in muscle fiber damage and dysfunction (261 citations)
  • Suppression of autophagy in skeletal muscle uncovers the accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins and their potential role in muscle damage in Pompe disease (257 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of study are Skeletal muscle, Immunology, Glycogen storage disease type II, Cell biology and Autophagy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Myocyte and Myositis. The Inclusion body myositis research Paul H. Plotz does as part of his general Myositis study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Face validity, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

His research investigates the connection between Glycogen storage disease type II and topics such as Glycogen that intersect with problems in Lysosomal storage disease. His research integrates issues of Biochemistry, Lysosomal storage disorders and Microautophagy in his study of Cell biology. His work deals with themes such as Cardiac muscle and Myopathy, which intersect with Autophagy.
