Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Immune system
  • Gene
  • Cytokine

Rui Appelberg mainly focuses on Immunology, Microbiology, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Macrophage and Interferon gamma. His Immunology research incorporates elements of Mycobacterium Avium Infection and Virology. His studies deal with areas such as In vivo, Intracellular parasite, In vitro and Mycobacterium as well as Microbiology.

Rui Appelberg combines subjects such as Acetylcysteine, Antioxidant, Apoptosis and Phagocytosis with his study of Macrophage. Interferon gamma is a subfield of Immune system that Rui Appelberg tackles. His Phagosome research includes elements of Tumor necrosis factor alpha and Cytokine.

His most cited work include:

  • Failure of the Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccine: some species of environmental mycobacteria block multiplication of BCG and induction of protective immunity to tuberculosis (385 citations)
  • Neutrophils play a protective nonphagocytic role in systemic Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection of mice. (240 citations)
  • Adjuvant modulation of immune responses to tuberculosis subunit vaccines. (225 citations)

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

Rui Appelberg focuses on Immunology, Microbiology, Mycobacterium, Immune system and Macrophage. The study of Immunology is intertwined with the study of Mycobacterium Avium Infection in a number of ways. His Microbiology study incorporates themes from In vitro, Cytokine, Virology, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Virulence.

The Mycobacterium study combines topics in areas such as Granuloma, Gene, In vivo and Ratón. Rui Appelberg has included themes like Interleukin 12, Tuberculosis and Antigen in his Immune system study. Rui Appelberg has researched Macrophage in several fields, including Apoptosis, Phagocytosis and Intracellular.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Immunology (71.24%)
  • Microbiology (56.21%)
  • Mycobacterium (41.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Immunology (71.24%)
  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis (19.61%)
  • Tuberculosis (13.73%)

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

His primary areas of study are Immunology, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Tuberculosis, Interferon gamma and Macrophage. His Immunology research integrates issues from Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium. His Mycobacterium study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cathelicidins, Granuloma, Programmed cell death and Microbiology.

His Mycobacterium tuberculosis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Drug administration, Pathogen, Immune system and Treatment failure. His Tuberculosis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Inflammation, Pharmacology and In vivo. His work carried out in the field of Interferon gamma brings together such families of science as Mycobacterium Avium Infection, Spleen, Molecular biology, Protozoan infection and Cytotoxic T cell.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Type I IFN Inhibits Alternative Macrophage Activation during Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection and Leads to Enhanced Protection in the Absence of IFN-γ Signaling (51 citations)
  • Delivery of LLKKK18 loaded into self-assembling hyaluronic acid nanogel for tuberculosis treatment (41 citations)
  • Antimicrobial peptides as novel anti-tuberculosis therapeutics. (34 citations)

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

  • Immune system
  • Gene
  • Cytokine

His scientific interests lie mostly in Immunology, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Microbiology, Macrophage and Tuberculosis. His research in Immunology intersects with topics in Ex vivo and Mycobacterium bovis. His Mycobacterium tuberculosis study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Tumor necrosis factor alpha and Granuloma.

His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hypoxia-inducible factors, Mycobacterium and Escherichia coli. Rui Appelberg has included themes like Interferon gamma, Immune system, Immunity and Necrosis, Pathology in his Macrophage study. His work deals with themes such as Interferon, In vivo and Mycobacterium Avium Infection, which intersect with Interferon gamma.
