Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

R. John Aitken mostly deals with Sperm, Oxidative stress, DNA damage, Biochemistry and Reactive oxygen species. His Sperm study is concerned with Andrology in general. The study incorporates disciplines such as Male infertility and Immunology in addition to Andrology.

His studies in Oxidative stress integrate themes in fields like Physiology, Mitochondrion, Cell biology and Polyunsaturated fatty acid. His study looks at the relationship between Cell biology and fields such as Acrosome reaction, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. He has researched DNA damage in several fields, including Offspring and DNA fragmentation.

His most cited work include:

  • Significance of Reactive Oxygen Species and Antioxidants in Defining the Efficacy of Sperm Preparation Techniques (612 citations)
  • Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Male and Female Reproduction (516 citations)
  • Significance of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in the generation of oxidative stress in spermatozoa. (431 citations)

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

His main research concerns Sperm, Cell biology, Capacitation, Oxidative stress and Biochemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Proteomics and Motility as well as Sperm. His work carried out in the field of Cell biology brings together such families of science as Acrosome reaction and Immunology.

His research integrates issues of Heat shock protein, Sperm plasma membrane and Signal transduction, Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src, Tyrosine phosphorylation in his study of Capacitation. His Oxidative stress research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Reactive oxygen species, Mitochondrion, DNA damage and Germ cell. His Sperm motility research integrates issues from Internal medicine and Endocrinology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sperm (44.39%)
  • Cell biology (41.70%)
  • Capacitation (27.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Oxidative stress (25.56%)
  • Cell biology (41.70%)
  • DNA damage (14.35%)

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

R. John Aitken spends much of his time researching Oxidative stress, Cell biology, DNA damage, Sperm and Lipid peroxidation. His study in Oxidative stress is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Andrology, Reactive oxygen species, Germ cell and Infertility. His Reactive oxygen species study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sperm motility and Mitochondrion.

Specifically, his work in Cell biology is concerned with the study of Oocyte. His DNA damage study introduces a deeper knowledge of DNA. His Sperm research incorporates themes from Lipid raft, Mitochondrial ROS and Spermatogenesis.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Heat exposure induces oxidative stress and dna damage in the male germ line (40 citations)
  • Transgenerational inheritance: how impacts to the epigenetic and genetic information of parents affect offspring health. (37 citations)
  • Impact of oxidative stress on male and female germ cells: implications for fertility (31 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

His primary areas of study are Oxidative stress, Germline, Cell biology, Sperm and Germ cell. R. John Aitken works in the field of Oxidative stress, namely Lipid peroxidation. In his study, DNA damage is strongly linked to DNA fragmentation, which falls under the umbrella field of Cell biology.

R. John Aitken works mostly in the field of DNA damage, limiting it down to concerns involving Bioinformatics and, occasionally, Oocyte and Embryo. In the subject of general Sperm, his work in Spermatid is often linked to Spermatocyte, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Germ cell research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Heat shock protein, HSPA2, Somatic cell and 4-Hydroxynonenal.
