Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Gene

Tuula Salo mainly investigates Matrix metalloproteinase, Pathology, Collagenase, Molecular biology and Cell biology. Tuula Salo has included themes like Periodontitis, Saliva, Immunology and Dentin in her Matrix metalloproteinase study. Her Pathology study incorporates themes from Cancer and Extracellular matrix.

Her Extracellular matrix research includes themes of Cancer research and Endostatin. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Molecular biology, Gelatinase A is strongly linked to Gelatinase. Her research in Cell biology intersects with topics in Wound healing, Biochemistry, Anatomy and Cell migration.

Her most cited work include:

  • Tumor targeting with a selective gelatinase inhibitor (559 citations)
  • Matrix metalloproteinases: contribution to pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal inflammation. (489 citations)
  • The Activation and Function of Host Matrix Metalloproteinases in Dentin Matrix Breakdown in Caries Lesions (478 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Pathology, Matrix metalloproteinase, Cancer research, Cancer and Internal medicine. Her Pathology research includes elements of Inflammation and Extracellular matrix. The various areas that she examines in her Matrix metalloproteinase study include Periodontitis, Immunology, Molecular biology, Cell biology and Collagenase.

Her research in Cancer research intersects with topics in Cell culture, Tumor microenvironment, Cancer cell, Head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma and Metastasis. Her studies in Cancer integrate themes in fields like Tongue, Cell and Carcinoma. She interconnects Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Oncology in the investigation of issues within Internal medicine.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Pathology (52.22%)
  • Matrix metalloproteinase (32.51%)
  • Cancer research (33.00%)

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

  • Cancer research (33.00%)
  • Cancer (36.29%)
  • Internal medicine (31.69%)

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

Tuula Salo spends much of her time researching Cancer research, Cancer, Internal medicine, Oncology and Tongue. Her Cancer research research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cell culture, Tumor microenvironment, Cancer cell, Head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma and Metastasis. The concepts of her Tumor microenvironment study are interwoven with issues in Immunohistochemistry, Stroma, Pathology and Extracellular matrix.

Her Pathology study frequently links to related topics such as Immune checkpoint. Tuula Salo combines subjects such as Carcinoma and Clinical significance with her study of Cancer. Her Oncology research also works with subjects such as

  • Immune system, which have a strong connection to Inflammation,
  • H&E stain together with Surgical oncology.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Combining discovery and targeted proteomics reveals a prognostic signature in oral cancer. (60 citations)
  • Combining discovery and targeted proteomics reveals a prognostic signature in oral cancer. (60 citations)
  • Combining discovery and targeted proteomics reveals a prognostic signature in oral cancer. (60 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Gene

Her primary areas of investigation include Cancer research, Internal medicine, Tumor microenvironment, Oncology and Cancer. Her Cancer research research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in In vitro, Cancer cell, Apoptosis, Head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma and Metastasis. Her Cancer cell study which covers Extracellular matrix that intersects with MMP8, Regulator, Matrix metalloproteinase, Review article and Breast cancer.

Tuula Salo usually deals with Internal medicine and limits it to topics linked to Tongue and Perineural invasion. Her Tumor microenvironment study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Immunohistochemistry and Pathology. Her Pathology research includes elements of Survival analysis and Proportional hazards model.
