Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Enzyme

Ronald W. Oppenheim mostly deals with Programmed cell death, Neuroscience, Neurotrophic factors, Cell biology and Neurotrophin. Ronald W. Oppenheim has included themes like Motor neuron, Neuron, Anatomy and Nervous system in his Programmed cell death study. His study in Neuroscience is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Neuron death, Denervation and SOD1.

The Neurotrophic factors study which covers Nerve growth factor that intersects with Brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Ronald W. Oppenheim combines subjects such as Forebrain, Caspase 1 and Brainstem with his study of Cell biology. His Neurotrophin research incorporates themes from Ignorance, Axotomy and Immunology.

His most cited work include:

  • Cell Death During Development of the Nervous System (2817 citations)
  • Developing motor neurons rescued from programmed and axotomy-induced cell death by GDNF (668 citations)
  • Brain-derived neurotrophic factor rescues developing avian motoneurons from cell death (426 citations)

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

Ronald W. Oppenheim focuses on Neuroscience, Programmed cell death, Cell biology, Spinal cord and Neurotrophic factors. As a member of one scientific family, Ronald W. Oppenheim mostly works in the field of Programmed cell death, focusing on Axotomy and, on occasion, Pathology. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Caspase, In vitro, Cell type and Skeletal muscle.

Ronald W. Oppenheim interconnects Neural tube, Embryo, Central nervous system, Floor plate and Anatomy in the investigation of issues within Spinal cord. His work in Central nervous system tackles topics such as Motor neuron which are related to areas like Endocrinology, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Neuromuscular junction. His work carried out in the field of Neurotrophic factors brings together such families of science as Neurotrophin and Nerve growth factor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (51.24%)
  • Programmed cell death (47.26%)
  • Cell biology (29.85%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2019)?

  • Neuroscience (51.24%)
  • Programmed cell death (47.26%)
  • Cell biology (29.85%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Programmed cell death, Cell biology, Apoptosis and Neurotrophic factors. His studies deal with areas such as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Denervation as well as Neuroscience. The concepts of his Programmed cell death study are interwoven with issues in Embryonic stem cell, Axotomy, Nervous system, Receptor and In vivo.

His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Neuron, Gene, Neuromuscular junction and Dorsal root ganglion, Spinal cord. His work deals with themes such as Embryo and Period, which intersect with Spinal cord. His Neurotrophic factors research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Signal transduction, Neurotrophin, Intracellular and Nerve growth factor.

Between 2003 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Adaptive roles of programmed cell death during nervous system development. (311 citations)
  • Complete dissociation of motor neuron death from motor dysfunction by Bax deletion in a mouse model of ALS. (306 citations)
  • Programmed Cell Death of Adult-Generated Hippocampal Neurons Is Mediated by the Proapoptotic Gene Bax (169 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Enzyme

Ronald W. Oppenheim spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Programmed cell death, Cell biology, Axon and SOD1. His Neuroscience research incorporates elements of Denervation and Skeletal muscle. His Programmed cell death research includes themes of Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, Neurotrophic factors, Motor neuron and Nervous system.

Ronald W. Oppenheim works mostly in the field of Cell biology, limiting it down to topics relating to Neuromuscular junction and, in certain cases, Neural development, Molecular biology, Depolarization and Choline transporter. Ronald W. Oppenheim usually deals with Axon and limits it to topics linked to Synapse and Neurotrophin, Receptor, Axoplasmic transport, Muscle weakness and Pathology. He has researched SOD1 in several fields, including Clinical trial, Bioinformatics, Pathogenesis and Motor dysfunction.
