Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

Matrix metalloproteinase, Pathology, Cell biology, Molecular biology and Matrilysin are his primary areas of study. The Matrix metalloproteinase study combines topics in areas such as Wound healing, Immunology, Extracellular matrix and Matrix. William C. Parks studies Chemokine, a branch of Immunology.

William C. Parks interconnects Inflammation, Extracellular and Function in the investigation of issues within Extracellular matrix. The concepts of his Pathology study are interwoven with issues in Gelatinase, Collagenase and In situ hybridization. His research in Cell biology intersects with topics in Tracheal Epithelium, Cadherin, Regulation of gene expression and Anatomy.

His most cited work include:

  • Matrix metalloproteinases as modulators of inflammation and innate immunity (1438 citations)
  • Matrix metalloproteinases as modulators of inflammation and innate immunity (1438 citations)
  • Regulation of Intestinal α-Defensin Activation by the Metalloproteinase Matrilysin in Innate Host Defense (955 citations)

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

William C. Parks mainly focuses on Cell biology, Matrix metalloproteinase, Pathology, Immunology and Extracellular matrix. His study in Cell biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Fibrosis, Integrin, Cell migration and Cell adhesion. The concepts of his Matrix metalloproteinase study are interwoven with issues in Wound healing, Matrix and Collagenase.

His Pathology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pulmonary hypertension, Lung and In situ hybridization. His biological study focuses on Inflammation. His Extracellular matrix study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Function.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (32.31%)
  • Matrix metalloproteinase (32.31%)
  • Pathology (25.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Immunology (21.15%)
  • Inflammation (18.85%)
  • Cell biology (32.31%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Immunology, Inflammation, Cell biology, Matrix metalloproteinase and Macrophage. His study in Immunology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phenotype, Versican, Gene expression and In vivo. His Inflammation study incorporates themes from Fibrosis, Innate immune system, Immune system and Lung injury.

His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Integrin, Collagenase, MMP1 and Lung disease. His work deals with themes such as Wound healing, Proteolysis, Matrix, Pathology and Extracellular matrix, which intersect with Matrix metalloproteinase. His research integrates issues of ADAMTS and Function in his study of Extracellular matrix.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Diverse functions of matrix metalloproteinases during fibrosis. (265 citations)
  • Diverse functions of matrix metalloproteinases during fibrosis. (265 citations)
  • Mechanisms of tendon injury and repair. (194 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

William C. Parks focuses on Cell biology, Matrix metalloproteinase, Extracellular matrix, Macrophage and Inflammation. His Matrix metalloproteinase study which covers Matrix that intersects with Angiogenesis. His Extracellular matrix research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Morphogen, ADAMTS, Allosteric regulation and Function.

He interconnects Gene expression and Metalloproteinase in the investigation of issues within Function. William C. Parks has researched Macrophage in several fields, including Wound healing and Regeneration. Inflammation is the subject of his research, which falls under Immunology.
