Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Robert Lafyatis is best known for:

Cytokine
Paracrine signalling
Growth factor

Robert Lafyatis conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Internal medicine and Endocrinology through his works. Robert Lafyatis integrates several fields in his works, including Endocrinology and Internal medicine. Transforming growth factor beta is closely attributed to Cell biology in his work. As part of his studies on Cell biology, Robert Lafyatis frequently links adjacent subjects like Transforming growth factor. In his articles, Robert Lafyatis combines various disciplines, including Transforming growth factor and Epidermal growth factor. Epidermal growth factor and Transforming growth factor beta are two areas of study in which Robert Lafyatis engages in interdisciplinary research. His research links Transforming growth factor, beta 3 with Receptor. His study brings together the fields of TGF alpha and Transforming growth factor, beta 3. His research on TGF alpha often connects related areas such as Receptor.

His most cited work include:

Anchorage-independent growth of synoviocytes from arthritic and normal joints. Stimulation by exogenous platelet-derived growth factor and inhibition by transforming growth factor-beta and retinoids. (309 citations)
Transforming growth factor-beta production by synovial tissues from rheumatoid patients and streptococcal cell wall arthritic rats. Studies on secretion by synovial fibroblast-like cells and immunohistologic localization. (74 citations)

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

His Synovial membrane research extends to the thematically linked field of Immunology. Robert Lafyatis performs multidisciplinary study in Synovial membrane and Cytokine in his work. His study deals with a combination of Cytokine and Collagenase. He integrates many fields in his works, including Collagenase and Fibroblast. He integrates Fibroblast and Platelet-derived growth factor in his studies. He undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Platelet-derived growth factor and Epidermal growth factor through his works. Many of his studies on Epidermal growth factor apply to Receptor as well. He applies his multidisciplinary studies on Receptor and Enzyme in his research. Robert Lafyatis undertakes multidisciplinary studies into Enzyme and Cell growth in his work.
