Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Shoichiro Tsukita is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Actin
  • Amino acid

Neuroscience and Endocrinology are all intertwined in Central nervous system research. In his work, he performs multidisciplinary research in Neuroscience and Cell biology. His research links Barrier function with Cell biology. Endocrinology is closely attributed to Central nervous system in his study. Shoichiro Tsukita conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Tight junction and Epithelium. His Epithelium study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Genetics. Genetics connects with themes related to Membrane in his study. His Membrane study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as FERM domain. FERM domain is closely attributed to Integral membrane protein in his study.

His most cited work include:

  • Multifunctional strands in tight junctions (2143 citations)
  • Claudin-1 and -2: Novel Integral Membrane Proteins Localizing at Tight Junctions with No Sequence Similarity to Occludin (1846 citations)
  • Size-selective loosening of the blood-brain barrier in claudin-5–deficient mice (1503 citations)

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

Cell biology is closely attributed to Intracellular in his work. His Cell study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Cell adhesion. His research on Biochemistry often connects related topics like Cytoplasm. He undertakes multidisciplinary studies into Cytoplasm and Cell in his work. He conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Genetics and Gene through his research. Shoichiro Tsukita applies his multidisciplinary studies on Gene and Molecular biology in his research. Shoichiro Tsukita conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Molecular biology and Genetics through his research. Shoichiro Tsukita applies his multidisciplinary studies on Tight junction and Cell junction in his research. His work often combines Cell junction and Tight junction studies.

Shoichiro Tsukita most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (89.35%)
  • Cell (58.58%)
  • Biochemistry (56.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2019)?

  • Cell biology (100.00%)
  • Cell (66.67%)
  • Tight junction (66.67%)

In recent works Shoichiro Tsukita was focusing on the following fields of study:

His work in Cell biology is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Embryo. His Embryo study often links to related topics such as Genetics. In his research, Shoichiro Tsukita undertakes multidisciplinary study on Genetics and Phenotype. His research on Cell frequently links to adjacent areas such as Live cell imaging. Tight junction and Occludin are two areas of study in which Shoichiro Tsukita engages in interdisciplinary work. Borrowing concepts from Septate junctions, Shoichiro Tsukita weaves in ideas under Occludin. In most of his Septate junctions studies, his work intersects topics such as Intracellular. His study brings together the fields of Endosome and Intracellular. He performs integrative study on Endosome and Endocytosis.

Between 2008 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Claudin-2–deficient mice are defective in the leaky and cation-selective paracellular permeability properties of renal proximal tubules (247 citations)
  • Coordinated Ciliary Beating Requires Odf2-Mediated Polarization of Basal Bodies via Basal Feet (176 citations)
  • Roles of ZO-1 and ZO-2 in Establishment of the Belt-like Adherens and Tight Junctions with Paracellular Permselective Barrier Function (94 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Paracellular transport
  • Claudin

His research on Cell biology often connects related areas such as Barrier function. Shoichiro Tsukita regularly ties together related areas like Cell biology in his Barrier function studies. His studies link Paracellular transport with Permeability (electromagnetism). His research links Membrane with Paracellular transport. His research brings together the fields of Permeability (electromagnetism) and Membrane. He integrates several fields in his works, including Claudin and Occludin. Shoichiro Tsukita integrates many fields in his works, including Occludin and Tight junction.
