Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Biochemistry, Sphingomyelin, Myelin, Cell biology and Proteolipid protein 1 are his primary areas of study. As part of his studies on Biochemistry, Wilhelm Stoffel often connects relevant areas like Myelin basic protein. The study incorporates disciplines such as Choline, Moiety and Phosphatidylcholine in addition to Sphingomyelin.

His studies examine the connections between Myelin and genetics, as well as such issues in Lipid bilayer, with regards to Galactocerebroside. His Cell biology research focuses on Immunology and how it connects with NODAL, Extracellular matrix, Matrix and Embryonic stem cell. His research in Proteolipid protein 1 intersects with topics in Integral membrane protein, Myelin proteolipid protein, Molecular biology and Exon.

His most cited work include:

  • Tmbase-A database of membrane spanning protein segments (2245 citations)
  • Structure, expression, and functional analysis of a Na(+)-dependent glutamate/aspartate transporter from rat brain. (1089 citations)
  • Analysis of Long-Chain Fatty Acids by Gas-Liquid Chromatography (803 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Metabolism, Sphingomyelin and Cell biology. His studies in Sphingosine, Enzyme, Ceramide, Amino acid and Membrane are all subfields of Biochemistry research. As a part of the same scientific family, Wilhelm Stoffel mostly works in the field of Molecular biology, focusing on Proteolipid protein 1 and, on occasion, Myelin proteolipid protein and Integral membrane protein.

Wilhelm Stoffel interconnects Coenzyme A and Polyunsaturated fatty acid in the investigation of issues within Metabolism. His Sphingomyelin research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Golgi apparatus and Phospholipid, Phosphatidylcholine. In his work, Lipid bilayer is strongly intertwined with Myelin, which is a subfield of Cell biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (52.03%)
  • Molecular biology (15.45%)
  • Metabolism (11.79%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1992-2020)?

  • Biochemistry (52.03%)
  • Molecular biology (15.45%)
  • Cell biology (11.38%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Cell biology, Myelin and Proteolipid protein 1. His Biochemistry course of study focuses on Myelin basic protein and Myelin-associated glycoprotein. His Molecular biology study deals with Gene expression intersecting with Sphingolipid.

His study looks at the relationship between Cell biology and fields such as Sphingomyelin, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Lipid bilayer and Axon. Wilhelm Stoffel has included themes like Integral membrane protein, Extracellular, Biophysics, Exon and Myelin proteolipid protein in his Proteolipid protein 1 study.

Between 1992 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Tmbase-A database of membrane spanning protein segments (2245 citations)
  • Glutamate transporter EAAC‐1‐deficient mice develop dicarboxylic aminoaciduria and behavioral abnormalities but no neurodegeneration (299 citations)
  • Functional breakdown of the lipid bilayer of the myelin membrane in central and peripheral nervous system by disrupted galactocerebroside synthesis (285 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

His main research concerns Biochemistry, Cell biology, Myelin, Ceramide and Molecular biology. The study of Biochemistry is intertwined with the study of Myelin basic protein in a number of ways. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Cell biology, Embryonic stem cell and Matrix is strongly linked to Immunology.

The various areas that he examines in his Myelin study include Peripheral nervous system and Lipid bilayer. Wilhelm Stoffel works mostly in the field of Ceramide, limiting it down to topics relating to Sphingomyelin and, in certain cases, Golgi apparatus and Second messenger system, as a part of the same area of interest. His work in Molecular biology tackles topics such as Gene expression which are related to areas like Sphingolipid, Cerebroside and Open reading frame.
