Tom K. Hei mainly focuses on Cell biology, Molecular biology, Bystander effect, Cell culture and Biochemistry. His study in the field of Mitochondrion and Signal transduction is also linked to topics like Interleukin 33. Tom K. Hei has included themes like Oxidative stress, Cancer research and Chinese hamster ovary cell in his Molecular biology study.

His work carried out in the field of Cell culture brings together such families of science as Ionizing radiation and Phosphorylation. His Biochemistry research includes themes of Arsenic toxicity and Genotoxicity. His research in Carcinogen intersects with topics in Carcinogenesis and DNA damage.

His most cited work include:

  • Induction of oxyradicals by arsenic: Implication for mechanism of genotoxicity (478 citations)
  • Induction of a bystander mutagenic effect of alpha particles in mammalian cells (434 citations)
  • Targeted cytoplasmic irradiation with alpha particles induces mutations in mammalian cells. (372 citations)

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

Tom K. Hei spends much of his time researching Cancer research, Molecular biology, Cell culture, Cell biology and Carcinogenesis. His Cancer research research focuses on Immunology and how it connects with Radioresistance. The concepts of his Molecular biology study are interwoven with issues in DNA, Cell, Mutant and Chinese hamster ovary cell.

His Cell culture research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of In vitro, Cytotoxicity and Cell cycle, Downregulation and upregulation, Gene. His work deals with themes such as Apoptosis, Bystander effect and DNA damage, which intersect with Cell biology. In his work, Biophysics is strongly intertwined with Irradiation, which is a subfield of Bystander effect.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cancer research (40.20%)
  • Molecular biology (22.88%)
  • Cell culture (20.59%)

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

  • Cancer research (40.20%)
  • Cell biology (21.24%)
  • Cancer (10.46%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cancer research, Cell biology, Cancer, Bystander effect and Apoptosis. His studies in Cancer research integrate themes in fields like Cell growth, Cancer cell, Cancer stem cell, Radioresistance and Lung cancer. His Cell biology research incorporates themes from Cell, Cell culture and DNA damage.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Linear energy transfer and Irradiation. In his research on the topic of Apoptosis, Acute kidney injury and Ionizing radiation is strongly related with Oxidative stress. He interconnects Serum response factor and Molecular biology in the investigation of issues within Carcinogenesis.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) protects against sodium arsenite-induced nephrotoxicity by suppressing ROS production, mitochondrial dysfunction, pro-inflammatory signaling pathways and programed cell death (52 citations)
  • Radiation-Induced Lipid Peroxidation Triggers Ferroptosis and Synergizes with Ferroptosis Inducers (42 citations)
  • MiR-663 inhibits radiation-induced bystander effects by targeting TGFB1 in a feedback mode (39 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Enzyme

Tom K. Hei spends much of his time researching Apoptosis, Cell biology, Immunology, Cancer research and Cancer cell. His Cell biology research incorporates elements of RNA, Serum response factor and Mutation. Cancer research is closely attributed to Gap junction in his study.

His Cancer cell research integrates issues from Radioresistance, Cell growth and Gene knockdown. The various areas that Tom K. Hei examines in his Nephrotoxicity study include NFKB1, Reactive oxygen species, Biochemistry, NF-κB and MAPK/ERK pathway. His DNA damage study combines topics in areas such as Carcinogenesis and Carcinogen.
