Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

Extracellular matrix, Proteoglycan, Pathology, Cell biology and Versican are his primary areas of study. His research in Extracellular matrix intersects with topics in Wound healing, Immunology, Restenosis, Anatomy and Coronary arteries. His Proteoglycan study is concerned with Biochemistry in general.

He has researched Pathology in several fields, including Artery and Neointima. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cell culture, Angiogenesis, Cell growth, Cell adhesion and Cell type. His Versican study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as ADAMTS4 Protein, Biglycan, Decorin and Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan.

His most cited work include:

  • Human tissue-engineered blood vessels for adult arterial revascularization (827 citations)
  • The extracellular matrix: an active or passive player in fibrosis? (493 citations)
  • Versican: a versatile extracellular matrix proteoglycan in cell biology (445 citations)

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

Thomas N. Wight focuses on Extracellular matrix, Cell biology, Versican, Proteoglycan and Biochemistry. His Extracellular matrix study incorporates themes from Hyaluronic acid, Immunology, Pathology, Internal medicine and Cell adhesion. His Cell biology research incorporates elements of Cell, Cell migration, CD44, Cell growth and Vascular smooth muscle.

His studies deal with areas such as Elastin, Biglycan, Inflammation, Platelet-derived growth factor receptor and Molecular biology as well as Versican. His study looks at the relationship between Proteoglycan and fields such as Glycosaminoglycan, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His work on Chondroitin sulfate, Dermatan sulfate, Heparan sulfate and Chondroitin is typically connected to Chondroitin ABC lyase as part of general Biochemistry study, connecting several disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Extracellular matrix (43.10%)
  • Cell biology (35.77%)
  • Versican (32.11%)

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

  • Extracellular matrix (43.10%)
  • Versican (32.11%)
  • Cell biology (35.77%)

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

Extracellular matrix, Versican, Cell biology, Immunology and Internal medicine are his primary areas of study. He interconnects Human lung, Hyaluronic acid, Inflammation, Cell adhesion and Fibroblast in the investigation of issues within Extracellular matrix. Proteoglycan covers Thomas N. Wight research in Versican.

The various areas that Thomas N. Wight examines in his Cell biology study include ADAMTS, Biochemistry, Cell growth and Proteases. His work carried out in the field of Immunology brings together such families of science as Molecular biology, Lung and Hyaluronan synthase. His Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Andrology and Endocrinology.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Provisional matrix: A role for versican and hyaluronan (99 citations)
  • Tissue integrity signals communicated by high-molecular weight hyaluronan and the resolution of inflammation. (70 citations)
  • Interplay of extracellular matrix and leukocytes in lung inflammation. (56 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of investigation include Extracellular matrix, Immunology, Cell biology, Versican and Inflammation. Thomas N. Wight is interested in Fibronectin, which is a branch of Extracellular matrix. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Clotting factor, Cell adhesion, Cell growth and Hyaluronic acid.

The Cell growth study combines topics in areas such as Proteoglycan, Receptor, Regulation of gene expression and Cell migration. In his research on the topic of Hyaluronic acid, Myofibroblast is strongly related with Biochemistry. His study in Versican is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both ADAMTS, HAS1, Molecular biology, Innate immune system and Macrophage.
