Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • DNA

Stefano Piccolo mainly focuses on Cell biology, Wnt signaling pathway, Transcription factor, Hippo signaling pathway and WWTR1. Cell biology is closely attributed to Embryonic stem cell in his work. His Wnt signaling pathway study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Left-Right Determination Factors, Gastrulation, Nodal signaling pathway and Bone morphogenetic protein.

The various areas that Stefano Piccolo examines in his Transcription factor study include Cancer research and Transforming growth factor beta. His work on TEAD1 as part of his general Hippo signaling pathway study is frequently connected to Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His study looks at the relationship between WWTR1 and topics such as Hippo signaling, which overlap with Tissue homeostasis, Cofilin and CapZ.

His most cited work include:

  • Role of YAP/TAZ in mechanotransduction (2727 citations)
  • Dorsoventral Patterning in Xenopus: Inhibition of Ventral Signals by Direct Binding of Chordin to BMP-4 (1027 citations)
  • MicroRNA control of signal transduction (1000 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Cell biology, Wnt signaling pathway, Cancer research, Molecular biology and Transcription factor. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Genetics and Cellular differentiation. Wnt signaling pathway is closely attributed to Endocrinology in his research.

His work in Cancer research covers topics such as Metastasis which are related to areas like microRNA. His Molecular biology study also includes fields such as

  • Mesoderm which intersects with area such as Bone morphogenetic protein and Ectoderm,
  • Xenopus that intertwine with fields like Gastrulation. His Transcription factor study deals with Hippo signaling pathway intersecting with Cancer stem cell and WWTR1.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (55.47%)
  • Wnt signaling pathway (26.56%)
  • Cancer research (19.53%)

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

  • Cell biology (55.47%)
  • Cell (8.59%)
  • Cancer research (19.53%)

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

His main research concerns Cell biology, Cell, Cancer research, Reprogramming and Mechanotransduction. His Cell biology study is mostly concerned with Extracellular matrix and Wnt signaling pathway. The concepts of his Wnt signaling pathway study are interwoven with issues in Xenopus, GSK-3 and Protein degradation.

He interconnects Lipid signaling and Kinase in the investigation of issues within Cell. His research integrates issues of Cancer and Organoid in his study of Cancer research. His Mechanotransduction research incorporates elements of Regulation of gene expression, RHOA and Rational design.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • YAP/TAZ upstream signals and downstream responses (253 citations)
  • YAP/TAZ-Dependent Reprogramming of Colonic Epithelium Links ECM Remodeling to Tissue Regeneration (197 citations)
  • Transcriptional addiction in cancer cells is mediated by YAP/TAZ through BRD4. (104 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • DNA

His primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Mechanotransduction, Extracellular matrix, Transcription factor and Cellular differentiation. His research in Cell biology is mostly focused on Wnt signaling pathway. His Wnt signaling pathway study combines topics in areas such as Signal transducing adaptor protein and ARID1A.

His Mechanotransduction research includes elements of Biomaterial, Cell behaviour, RHOA and Cell growth. His work deals with themes such as Cell culture and Cell Plasticity, which intersect with Extracellular matrix. His Cellular differentiation course of study focuses on Cell fate determination and Notch signaling pathway, Morphogenesis, Crosstalk, Epithelium and Reprogramming.
