Overview

Wilhelm Bloch is affiliated with the German Sport University Cologne in Germany and has contributed extensively to research in the field of Medicine. Their work spans multiple subfields including Oncology, Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine, Physiology, Molecular Biology, and Cell Biology.

The main topics covered in Bloch's research include blood properties and coagulation, COVID-19 clinical research studies, cancer survivorship and care, exercise and physiological responses, erythrocyte function and pathophysiology, long-term effects of COVID-19, and hemoglobinopathies and related disorders.

Bloch has published research in several notable scientific journals. Frequent publication venues are:

  • American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology
  • Biology
  • Frontiers in Physiology
  • Nature Cell Biology
  • Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine

Selected recent papers include:

  • Niche stiffening compromises hair follicle stem cell potential during ageing by reducing bivalent promoter accessibility (2021), Nature Cell Biology
  • The oxygen dissociation curve of blood in COVID-19 (2021), American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology
  • Even patients with mild COVID-19 symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 infection show prolonged altered red blood cell morphology and rheological parameters (2022), Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine
  • Persistent JunB activation in fibroblasts disrupts stem cell niche interactions enforcing skin aging (2021), Cell Reports
  • Basement Membrane Remodeling Controls Endothelial Function in Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (2020), American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology

Bloch frequently collaborates with several coauthors, including:

  • Marijke Grau
  • Dieter Böning
  • Wolfgang M. Kuebler
  • Moritz Schumann
  • Jonas Zacher

Their research publications demonstrate a focus on topics that intersect physiology and pathology, especially within the context of respiratory and hematological conditions, as well as the long-term health impacts of COVID-19. The presence of multiple publications on blood function, erythrocyte morphology, and respiratory medicine highlights an integrated approach to understanding disease mechanisms and physiological responses.
