Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Genetics
  • Cell biology
  • Apoptosis

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neural crest, Cell biology, Neural plate, Neural fold and Neural crest formation. In his articles, Roberto Mayor combines various disciplines, including Neural crest and Morphogenesis. His Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Cell migration, Cell type, Contact inhibition and Mesoderm.

His studies deal with areas such as Beta-catenin, Wnt signaling pathway and Filopodia as well as Cell migration. His studies examine the connections between Neural plate and genetics, as well as such issues in Ectoderm, with regards to Noggin, Neurulation and Endocrinology. The various areas that he examines in his Neural crest formation study include SOX10 and Anatomy.

His most cited work include:

  • Contact inhibition of locomotion in vivo controls neural crest directional migration (446 citations)
  • Induction of the prospective neural crest of Xenopus. (415 citations)
  • Collective Chemotaxis Requires Contact-Dependent Cell Polarity (383 citations)

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

Roberto Mayor mainly investigates Neural crest, Cell biology, Neural plate, Cell migration and Neuroscience. In general Neural crest study, his work on Neural fold often relates to the realm of Population, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His research in Cell biology intersects with topics in Genetics, Cadherin, Cell adhesion, Mesoderm and Cell polarity.

The Neural plate study combines topics in areas such as Paraxial mesoderm, Noggin, Ectoderm and Neurula. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Cell migration, RAC1 is strongly linked to RHOA. His study in the field of Sensory system is also linked to topics like Morphogenesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neural crest (77.78%)
  • Cell biology (78.40%)
  • Neural plate (36.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Neural crest (77.78%)
  • Cell biology (78.40%)
  • Neuroscience (20.99%)

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

His main research concerns Neural crest, Cell biology, Neuroscience, Chemistry and Cell migration. His work on Cranial neural crest as part of general Neural crest study is frequently connected to Population, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. The concepts of his Cell biology study are interwoven with issues in Cadherin, Transcriptional regulation and Cell fate determination.

His work deals with themes such as Collective cell migration, Collective migration and Durotaxis, which intersect with Neuroscience. Roberto Mayor studied Cell migration and Actin cytoskeleton that intersect with Morphant and Cell adhesion. His Contact inhibition research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in FAK activity and Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Guidelines and definitions for research on epithelial–mesenchymal transition (174 citations)
  • Tissue stiffening coordinates morphogenesis by triggering collective cell migration in vivo (164 citations)
  • Mechanisms of Neural Crest Migration (55 citations)

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

  • Genetics
  • Apoptosis
  • Cell membrane

Roberto Mayor mostly deals with Neural crest, Population, Neuroscience, Cell biology and Morphogenesis. Roberto Mayor has included themes like Cancer metastasis, Embryo, Cell type and Cranial neural crest in his Neuroscience study. The study of Cell biology is intertwined with the study of Mesoderm in a number of ways.

His Morphogenesis research encompasses a variety of disciplines, including Mass migration, Regeneration, Tissue mechanics, Wound healing and Cell migration. Among his Chemistry studies, there is a synthesis of other scientific areas such as Cell chemotaxis, Neural stem cell, Chemotaxis, Gap junction and Regulation of gene expression. His work in Gap junction tackles topics such as Neural crest cell migration which are related to areas like Connexin, Transcriptional regulation, Cadherin and Collective migration.
