Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Amino acid

Cell biology, Autophagy, Alzheimer's disease, Lysosome and Neuroscience are his primary areas of study. His Cell biology research includes elements of Endocytic cycle, Presenilin and Amyloid precursor protein. His research in Autophagy intersects with topics in Neurodegeneration, Programmed cell death, Vacuole and Amyloid.

His Alzheimer's disease research incorporates elements of Endocrinology, Biochemistry and Degenerative disease. The various areas that Ralph A. Nixon examines in his Lysosome study include Cathepsin, Lipofuscin, Pathology, Proteolysis and V-ATPase. His Neuroscience study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Neurofilament, Downregulation and upregulation, Disease, Phosphorylation and Kinase.

His most cited work include:

  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition) (4170 citations)
  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3242 citations)
  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy in higher eukaryotes (1951 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, Neurofilament and Autophagy. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Molecular biology, Calpain, Neurodegeneration and Programmed cell death. His studies deal with areas such as Alzheimer's disease and Disease as well as Neuroscience.

His Alzheimer's disease research incorporates themes from Endocrinology and Immunology. His Neurofilament research includes themes of Axoplasmic transport, Intermediate filament, Cytoskeleton, Protein subunit and Phosphorylation. His study looks at the intersection of Autophagy and topics like Lysosome with Cathepsin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (66.67%)
  • Biochemistry (34.65%)
  • Neuroscience (30.92%)

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

  • Cell biology (66.67%)
  • Autophagy (28.95%)
  • Neuroscience (30.92%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Autophagy, Neuroscience, Neurofilament and Lysosome. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cathepsin D, Cathepsin, Molecular biology, Calpain and Autophagosome. His Autophagy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Programmed cell death, Presenilin, Proteolysis and Amyloid precursor protein.

His Neuroscience research integrates issues from Alzheimer's disease, Disease, Neurodegeneration and Endosome. His work deals with themes such as Intermediate filament, Axoplasmic transport, Protein subunit and Phosphorylation, which intersect with Neurofilament. His Lysosome research incorporates themes from Endocytic cycle, Nutrient sensing and V-ATPase.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition) (4170 citations)
  • Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3242 citations)
  • The role of autophagy in neurodegenerative disease (1172 citations)
