Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cellular differentiation
  • Enzyme

Yasuhiko Kawakami mainly investigates Cell biology, Zebrafish, Apical ectodermal ridge, Genetics and Wnt signaling pathway. His Cell biology research incorporates themes from Endocrinology, Lateral plate mesoderm, Internal medicine and Cellular differentiation. His Endocrinology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Limb bud and Limb development.

His Zebrafish research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Xenopus, Embryo and Regeneration. His Apical ectodermal ridge study deals with Mesenchyme intersecting with MAPK/ERK pathway, Kinase, PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, Protein kinase A and Protein kinase B. His research integrates issues of Forelimb and Fibroblast growth factor in his study of Wnt signaling pathway.

His most cited work include:

  • PVT1 dependence in cancer with MYC copy-number increase (448 citations)
  • WNT Signals Control FGF-Dependent Limb Initiation and AER Induction in the Chick Embryo (309 citations)
  • Epicardial retinoid X receptor is required for myocardial growth and coronary artery formation (286 citations)

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

Yasuhiko Kawakami mostly deals with Cell biology, Limb development, Wnt signaling pathway, Molecular biology and Zebrafish. His study in Cell biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genetics, Endocrinology and Internal medicine. His research in Limb development intersects with topics in Sonic hedgehog, Limb bud, Body Patterning and Anatomy.

His work deals with themes such as Cartilage and Embryo, which intersect with Wnt signaling pathway. Yasuhiko Kawakami focuses mostly in the field of Molecular biology, narrowing it down to matters related to Embryonic stem cell and, in some cases, Dicer and microRNA. His Zebrafish research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Receptor, Cell migration, Regeneration and Embryogenesis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (64.71%)
  • Limb development (21.01%)
  • Wnt signaling pathway (21.01%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Cell biology (64.71%)
  • Zebrafish (18.49%)
  • Limb bud (15.97%)

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

Yasuhiko Kawakami focuses on Cell biology, Zebrafish, Limb bud, Anatomy and Internal medicine. His Cell biology research incorporates themes from Transcription factor and Angiogenesis. His work carried out in the field of Zebrafish brings together such families of science as Tube formation, In vivo and Regeneration.

His biological study deals with issues like Limb development, which deal with fields such as Zone of polarizing activity, GLI3, Model organism and Human disease. Yasuhiko Kawakami has researched Anatomy in several fields, including Noggin, Bone morphogenetic protein and Bone morphogenetic protein 2. His Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Endocrinology and Oncology.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • PVT1 dependence in cancer with MYC copy-number increase (448 citations)
  • Sall4-Gli3 system in early limb progenitors is essential for the development of limb skeletal elements (34 citations)
  • HMGB proteins and arthritis. (23 citations)
