Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • DNA

Vassilis Pachnis spends much of his time researching Cell biology, Enteric nervous system, Neural crest, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His studies in Cell biology integrate themes in fields like Embryonic stem cell and Morphogenesis. His Enteric nervous system research incorporates themes from Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-ret and Transgene.

His study in Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-ret is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cancer research and Haematopoiesis. His Neural crest study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Neurogenesis, Stem cell, Neural stem cell and Nervous system. His Internal medicine course of study focuses on Ureteric bud and Kidney morphogenesis.

His most cited work include:

  • Defects in the kidney and enteric nervous system of mice lacking the tyrosine kinase receptor Ret (1401 citations)
  • Defects in the kidney and enteric nervous system of mice lacking the tyrosine kinase receptor Ret (1401 citations)
  • Expression of the c-ret proto-oncogene during mouse embryogenesis (769 citations)

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

Vassilis Pachnis mostly deals with Enteric nervous system, Cell biology, Neural crest, Neuroscience and Internal medicine. His research integrates issues of Immunology, Nervous system, Receptor tyrosine kinase, Neurogenesis and Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-ret in his study of Enteric nervous system. He has included themes like Haematopoiesis and Cancer research in his Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-ret study.

His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor and Cellular differentiation. His Neural crest research incorporates elements of Embryonic stem cell, Gastrointestinal tract, Stem cell and Anatomy. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Endocrinology and Ureteric bud.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Enteric nervous system (44.68%)
  • Cell biology (39.01%)
  • Neural crest (30.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (27.66%)
  • Enteric nervous system (44.68%)
  • Cell biology (39.01%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Enteric nervous system, Cell biology, Progenitor cell and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential. Many of his research projects under Neuroscience are closely connected to Digestive physiology with Digestive physiology, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His research in Enteric nervous system intersects with topics in Regulator, Gastrointestinal function and Neuroglia.

His Stem cell, Signal transduction and Neural crest investigations are all subjects of Cell biology research. In Progenitor cell, he works on issues like Zebrafish, which are connected to Notch signaling pathway and Neural stem cell. The Inhibitory postsynaptic potential study combines topics in areas such as Cerebral cortex and Embryonic Structure.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Lineage-dependent spatial and functional organization of the mammalian enteric nervous system (70 citations)
  • Neuroimmune regulation during intestinal development and homeostasis (62 citations)
  • Neuronal programming by microbiota regulates intestinal physiology (48 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • DNA

Cell biology, Enteric nervous system, Neuroscience, Gastrointestinal function and Neural crest are his primary areas of study. Vassilis Pachnis is interested in Signal transduction, which is a branch of Cell biology. Enteric nervous system is often connected to Neuroglia in his work.

His Forebrain, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Basal forebrain study, which is part of a larger body of work in Neuroscience, is frequently linked to Homeostatic plasticity, bridging the gap between disciplines. His studies deal with areas such as Molecular biology, Stem cell and Ephrin as well as Gastrointestinal function. His Neural crest research focuses on subjects like Neuroimmunology, which are linked to Homeostasis.
