Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme

Hepatocyte growth factor, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Growth factor and Molecular biology are his primary areas of study. His studies in Hepatocyte growth factor integrate themes in fields like Cancer research, Angiogenesis, Liver regeneration and Cell biology. His work on Regeneration expands to the thematically related Internal medicine.

The concepts of his Endocrinology study are interwoven with issues in Fibrosis and Vascular endothelial growth factor B. His research integrates issues of Cell culture, Cell growth, Hepatocyte, DNA synthesis and Cell surface receptor in his study of Growth factor. His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Complementary DNA, Nucleic acid sequence and Epithelium.

His most cited work include:

  • Molecular cloning and expression of human hepatocyte growth factor (2008 citations)
  • Identification of a fibroblast-derived epithelial morphogen as hepatocyte growth factor (1093 citations)
  • Partial purification and characterization of hepatocyte growth factor from serum of hepatectomized rats. (1065 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Hepatocyte growth factor, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Cancer research and Molecular biology. Toshikazu Nakamura has researched Hepatocyte growth factor in several fields, including Pathology, Cell culture, Growth factor and Cell biology. His study in Internal medicine concentrates on Kidney, Receptor, Cytokine, Fibrosis and Epidermal growth factor.

His work deals with themes such as Cell growth, Hepatocyte and Liver regeneration, which intersect with Endocrinology. His work is dedicated to discovering how Cancer research, Metastasis are connected with Angiogenesis inhibitor and other disciplines. His study in Molecular biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Complementary DNA, Biochemistry, Messenger RNA and DNA synthesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Hepatocyte growth factor (62.46%)
  • Internal medicine (38.12%)
  • Endocrinology (34.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2021)?

  • Hepatocyte growth factor (62.46%)
  • Cancer research (20.51%)
  • Internal medicine (38.12%)

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

Toshikazu Nakamura mainly focuses on Hepatocyte growth factor, Cancer research, Internal medicine, Super-Kamiokande and Endocrinology. The various areas that Toshikazu Nakamura examines in his Hepatocyte growth factor study include Molecular biology, Growth factor, Immunology and Cell biology. His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Receptor, Perlecan and Phosphorylation.

His research investigates the connection between Cancer research and topics such as Metastasis that intersect with issues in Angiogenesis inhibitor and Cancer cell. As part of his studies on Internal medicine, Toshikazu Nakamura often connects relevant areas like Oncology. His Endocrinology research includes themes of Neurogenesis and Tryptophan.

Between 2007 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Hepatocyte Growth Factor Induces Gefitinib Resistance of Lung Adenocarcinoma with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor–Activating Mutations (516 citations)
  • Aryl hydrocarbon receptor control of a disease tolerance defence pathway (383 citations)
  • Hepatocyte growth factor twenty years on: Much more than a growth factor (313 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

His scientific interests lie mostly in Hepatocyte growth factor, Cancer research, Immunology, Super-Kamiokande and Internal medicine. His biological study focuses on C-Met. His work carried out in the field of C-Met brings together such families of science as Amino acid, Tyrosine, Growth factor, Cell biology and Protein kinase domain.

His Cancer research research includes elements of Cancer, Metastasis, Tyrosine kinase, Pathology and Genetic enhancement. His Immunology research incorporates themes from Lung and Neuroprotection. The Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Endocrinology, Akt/PKB signaling pathway and Oncology.
