Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Cell membrane

Robert W. Ledeen mostly deals with Biochemistry, Ganglioside, Molecular biology, Myelin and Ceramide. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Gas chromatography and Biochemistry. His work in Ganglioside tackles topics such as Sialic acid which are related to areas like Sphingosine and Fatty acid.

His Molecular biology study incorporates themes from Cell, Neurite and Cholera toxin. His Neurite study also includes

  • Cytoskeleton which connect with Axonogenesis,
  • Neuroscience that connect with fields like Cell biology. In his articles, Robert W. Ledeen combines various disciplines, including Myelin and White matter.

His most cited work include:

  • Gangliosides of human myelin: sialosylgalactosylceramide (G7) as a major component. (493 citations)
  • Gangliosides of human, bovine, and rabbit plasma (318 citations)
  • Intraneuronal N-acetylaspartate supplies acetyl groups for myelin lipid synthesis: evidence for myelin-associated aspartoacylase. (254 citations)

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

Robert W. Ledeen spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Cell biology, Ganglioside, Molecular biology and Receptor. His Biochemistry study deals with Myelin intersecting with Second messenger system. His Cell biology research includes elements of Neurite and Calcium.

His studies in Ganglioside integrate themes in fields like Sialic acid, Neuraminidase, Neuron, Glycoprotein and Intracellular. Robert W. Ledeen has included themes like Cell, Antibody, Cholera toxin and Membrane permeability in his Molecular biology study. His Receptor research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Endocrinology, Neuroprotection and Nervous system.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (48.89%)
  • Cell biology (35.56%)
  • Ganglioside (38.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2020)?

  • Cell biology (35.56%)
  • Ganglioside (38.89%)
  • Parkinson's disease (10.00%)

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

Cell biology, Ganglioside, Parkinson's disease, Neuroscience and Receptor are his primary areas of study. His Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Biochemistry and Inner membrane. The study incorporates disciplines such as Myelin and Nucleus in addition to Biochemistry.

His Ganglioside research integrates issues from Axonogenesis, Sialidase and Galectin-1, Immunology. His Parkinson's disease research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Endocrinology, Membrane protein and Neurotransmitter. His research in Receptor intersects with topics in Neuroprotection and Nervous system.

Between 2007 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Cross-Linking of GM1 Ganglioside by Galectin-1 Mediates Regulatory T Cell Activity Involving TRPC5 Channel Activation: Possible Role in Suppressing Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (156 citations)
  • The multi-tasked life of GM1 ganglioside, a true factotum of nature (109 citations)
  • Nuclear sphingolipids: metabolism and signaling. (83 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Cell membrane

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Parkinson's disease, Intracellular, Ganglioside and Receptor. His Cell biology research includes elements of Neurotrophin and Immune system. His work carried out in the field of Parkinson's disease brings together such families of science as Immunohistochemistry, Immunology, Tyrosine and Endocrinology.

His Intracellular research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Pathophysiology, Neuroprotection and Disease. He integrates many fields in his works, including Ganglioside and Small hairpin RNA. His Sphingomyelin research is within the category of Biochemistry.
