Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Retinoic acid, Biochemistry, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His studies in Cell biology integrate themes in fields like NODAL, CYP26A1 and Optic vesicle. He interconnects Homeobox, Gene knockout and Retinoid receptor in the investigation of issues within CYP26A1.

The concepts of his Retinoic acid study are interwoven with issues in Retina, Embryo and Mesoderm. His work on Biochemistry deals in particular with Embryonic stem cell and Retinaldehyde. His Embryonic stem cell study which covers Receptor that intersects with Neurogenesis and Hippocampus.

His most cited work include:

  • Retinoids in Embryonal Development (718 citations)
  • Retinoids in Embryonal Development (718 citations)
  • Retinoids in Embryonal Development (718 citations)

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

Peter McCaffery mostly deals with Retinoic acid, Cell biology, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Biochemistry. His Retinoic acid research incorporates elements of Receptor, Retina and Nuclear receptor. His studies deal with areas such as Embryonic stem cell, CYP26A1, Aldehyde dehydrogenase and Anatomy as well as Cell biology.

His Embryonic stem cell research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gene knockout, Homeobox and Retinoid receptor. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Endocrinology, focusing on Paracrine signalling and, on occasion, Autocrine signalling. His Biochemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Function and In vivo.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Retinoic acid (82.11%)
  • Cell biology (46.34%)
  • Internal medicine (36.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Retinoic acid (82.11%)
  • Internal medicine (36.59%)
  • Endocrinology (36.59%)

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

Peter McCaffery mainly focuses on Retinoic acid, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Receptor and Cell biology. The various areas that Peter McCaffery examines in his Retinoic acid study include Cancer research and Signal transduction. The Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Gene expression and Fenretinide.

His work carried out in the field of Endocrinology brings together such families of science as Juvenile and Tics, Tic disorder. In general Receptor, his work in Glutamate receptor is often linked to Cognitive decline linking many areas of study. Peter McCaffery does research in Cell biology, focusing on Neurogenesis specifically.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Fenretinide Treatment Prevents Diet-Induced Obesity in Association With Major Alterations in Retinoid Homeostatic Gene Expression in Adipose, Liver, and Hypothalamus (45 citations)
  • The rhythm of retinoids in the brain (41 citations)
  • The evidence for a beneficial role of vitamin A in multiple sclerosis. (31 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

Retinoic acid, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Receptor and Hypothalamus are his primary areas of study. His studies in Retinoic acid receptor and Retinoid are all subfields of Retinoic acid research. His Internal medicine study incorporates themes from Neurogenesis, Nuclear receptor and Gene expression.

His Nuclear receptor research includes elements of Thyroid hormone receptor, CYP26A1, Cell biology, Regulation of gene expression and Subgranular zone. His work in the fields of Adipogenesis and Adipose tissue overlaps with other areas such as Leptin and Resistin. His Central nervous system study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cerebellum, Cerebral cortex and Human brain.
