Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Kinesin, Cell biology, KIF1A, Anatomy and NODAL. His work on Kinesin 8, Kinesin 13 and KIF3A as part of general Kinesin study is frequently linked to PAX6, bridging the gap between disciplines. Organelle and Sonic hedgehog are the subjects of his Cell biology studies.

His KIF1A study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Microtubule. His work in Microtubule tackles topics such as Biophysics which are related to areas like Binding site. His Anatomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ciliary tip, Intraflagellar transport and Motile cilium.

His most cited work include:

  • Randomization of Left–Right Asymmetry due to Loss of Nodal Cilia Generating Leftward Flow of Extraembryonic Fluid in Mice Lacking KIF3B Motor Protein (1309 citations)
  • A standardized kinesin nomenclature. (590 citations)
  • Targeted Disruption of Mouse Conventional Kinesin Heavy Chain kif5B, Results in Abnormal Perinuclear Clustering of Mitochondria (527 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Kinesin, Cell biology, Biophysics, Microtubule and Motor protein. His study in the field of KIF1A also crosses realms of ATP hydrolysis. As part of his studies on Cell biology, Yasushi Okada often connects relevant subjects like Anatomy.

Yasushi Okada focuses mostly in the field of Biophysics, narrowing it down to topics relating to Microscopy and, in certain cases, Microscope. His studies deal with areas such as Protein structure and Biochemistry as well as Microtubule. His Motor protein research incorporates themes from Dynein and Displacement.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Kinesin (42.64%)
  • Cell biology (34.88%)
  • Biophysics (34.11%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Biophysics (34.11%)
  • Cell biology (34.88%)
  • Mitochondrion (4.65%)

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

Yasushi Okada mainly focuses on Biophysics, Cell biology, Mitochondrion, RNA and Polarization. His Biophysics research includes themes of Kinesin, Microtubule, Fluorescence and Organelle. His research in Kinesin is mostly focused on Kinesin binding.

His work on Signal transducing adaptor protein as part of his general Cell biology study is frequently connected to Fluorescent protein, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His study in the fields of Cytochrome c under the domain of Mitochondrion overlaps with other disciplines such as Peroxin, Peroxisome Proliferation and Stress granule. His RNA study combines topics in areas such as Cell, Fluorescent labelling and Messenger RNA.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Phase separation organizes the site of autophagosome formation. (78 citations)
  • A Highly Photostable Near‐Infrared Labeling Agent Based on a Phospha‐rhodamine for Long‐Term and Deep Imaging (50 citations)
  • A photostable fluorescent marker for the superresolution live imaging of the dynamic structure of the mitochondrial cristae. (45 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Yasushi Okada mainly investigates Biophysics, Kinesin binding, Microtubule, Kinesin and Cell biology. The various areas that Yasushi Okada examines in his Biophysics study include Cytoplasm, Super-resolution microscopy, Biomolecule, Fluorescence and Microscopy. His Biomolecule research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Autophagy, Plasma protein binding, In vitro, Signal transducing adaptor protein and Membrane.

His Microscopy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Live cell imaging, Organelle, Inner mitochondrial membrane and Fluorophore. His Kinesin binding study combines topics in areas such as SUPERFAMILY, Nucleotide and Structural protein. His work carried out in the field of Cell biology brings together such families of science as Retina, Photopic vision and Visual acuity.
