Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Inflammasome, AIM2, RNA and Molecular biology. His research integrates issues of RIG-I, Naive B cell and B-1 cell in his study of Cell biology. His Proinflammatory cytokine research extends to the thematically linked field of Inflammasome.

His AIM2 research incorporates themes from Pyroptosis and Caspase 1, Inflammasome complex, NLRC4. His RNA research includes elements of Innate immune system, Nucleic acid and DNA. His study focuses on the intersection of Molecular biology and fields such as Pyrin domain with connections in the field of Caspase-11 and TLR3.

His most cited work include:

  • A Mammalian microRNA Expression Atlas Based on Small RNA Library Sequencing (3057 citations)
  • NLRP3 inflammasomes are required for atherogenesis and activated by cholesterol crystals (2205 citations)
  • Silica crystals and aluminum salts activate the NALP3 inflammasome through phagosomal destabilization (2032 citations)

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

Cell biology, Inflammasome, Immunology, Innate immune system and Immune system are his primary areas of study. His study in Cell biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Receptor, Molecular biology, Programmed cell death and DNA. His Inflammasome research focuses on AIM2, Pyroptosis and Caspase 1.

His AIM2 research incorporates elements of Pyrin domain and NLRC4. His research in Innate immune system intersects with topics in RNA, Interferon, Virology and Immunity. His work deals with themes such as Nucleic acid and Viral replication, which intersect with RNA.

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

His main research concerns Cell biology, Inflammasome, Innate immune system, RNA and Immune system. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Chromatin, Apoptosis and Cytokine. His Inflammasome study is focused on Immunology in general.

The Innate immune system study combines topics in areas such as Western blot, Transfection, Immunity and Virology. His RNA study combines topics in areas such as Viral replication and Alternative splicing. His Immune system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Interferon production, Receptor activation and Myeloid.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Human GBP1 is a microbe-specific gatekeeper of macrophage apoptosis and pyroptosis (61 citations)
  • Molecular mechanisms and cellular functions of cGAS–STING signalling (59 citations)
  • Human RIPK1 deficiency causes combined immunodeficiency and inflammatory bowel diseases (49 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Veit Hornung mainly investigates Cell biology, Inflammasome, Programmed cell death, RNA and Inflammation. The concepts of his Cell biology study are interwoven with issues in Chromatin, Intrinsic apoptosis, Caspase 8, Biological activity and Innate immune system. His studies in Inflammasome integrate themes in fields like RNA virus, Priming and Kinase.

His Pyroptosis and Caspase study in the realm of Programmed cell death connects with subjects such as Guanylate-binding protein and Protein prenylation. His RNA study incorporates themes from Activator, Viral replication and NACHT domain. His Inflammation research includes themes of Intracellular potassium, Immune system and RIPK1.
