Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer

His primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Molecular biology, Biochemistry, Vascular smooth muscle and Receptor. His studies in Cell biology integrate themes in fields like Cell migration, Cyclin-dependent kinase, Cyclin D1, Cell cycle and Chemotaxis. His studies deal with areas such as Endothelins, Interleukin-21 receptor, Endothelin receptor type A, Peptide sequence and Signal transduction as well as Molecular biology.

In the field of Biochemistry, his study on Sphingosine-1-phosphate, Inositol trisphosphate, Phospholipase C and Inositol overlaps with subjects such as Alkaline phosphatase. The Vascular smooth muscle portion of his research involves studies in Endocrinology and Internal medicine. The various areas that he examines in his Myosin light-chain kinase study include Muscle contraction and Rho-associated protein kinase.

His most cited work include:

  • Cloning of a cDNA encoding a non-isopeptide-selective subtype of the endothelin receptor. (2244 citations)
  • A G-protein-coupled receptor for leukotriene B4 that mediates chemotaxis. (925 citations)
  • Divergent signals and cytoskeletal assemblies regulate self-organizing polarity in neutrophils. (596 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Cell biology, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Vascular smooth muscle and Molecular biology. His work deals with themes such as Receptor, Sphingosine-1-phosphate and Cell migration, which intersect with Cell biology. The Sphingosine-1-phosphate study combines topics in areas such as Cancer research, Angiogenesis and Lipid signaling.

His Cell migration study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Protein kinase B and Chemotaxis. Phospholipase C is closely connected to Protein kinase C in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Endocrinology. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Vascular smooth muscle, focusing on Myosin light-chain kinase and, on occasion, Rho-associated protein kinase, Vascular smooth muscle contraction and Contraction.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (47.46%)
  • Internal medicine (30.07%)
  • Endocrinology (28.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Cell biology (47.46%)
  • Internal medicine (30.07%)
  • Endocrinology (28.62%)

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

Yoh Takuwa mainly focuses on Cell biology, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Sphingosine-1-phosphate and Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor. His Cell biology research incorporates themes from Receptor, Lipid signaling and Angiogenesis. He has researched Angiogenesis in several fields, including Biochemistry and Endocytosis.

His Internal medicine research includes themes of Endothelial stem cell and Rho-associated protein kinase. His Endocrinology research incorporates elements of Myosin light-chain kinase and RHOA. His Sphingosine-1-phosphate research is multidisciplinary, relying on both G protein-coupled receptor, Oncology, Function and Predictive biomarker.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Endothelial PI3K-C2α, a class II PI3K, has an essential role in angiogenesis and vascular barrier function (134 citations)
  • Overexpression of Sphingosine Kinase 1 Prevents Ceramide Accumulation and Ameliorates Muscle Insulin Resistance in High-Fat Diet–Fed Mice (111 citations)
  • S1P3-mediated cardiac fibrosis in sphingosine kinase 1 transgenic mice involves reactive oxygen species (105 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer

His main research concerns Cell biology, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Angiogenesis and Receptor. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sphingosine-1-phosphate and Internalization. His study in Sphingosine-1-phosphate is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cancer research and Immunology.

The concepts of his Internal medicine study are interwoven with issues in Myosin-light-chain phosphatase and Rho-associated protein kinase. His studies in Endocrinology integrate themes in fields like Myosin light-chain kinase, Wortmannin and Phosphoinositide 3-kinase. His study looks at the intersection of Receptor and topics like Downregulation and upregulation with Scavenger receptor and Apolipoprotein E.
