Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • Cytokine

His primary areas of study are Immunology, Mast cell, Immunoglobulin E, Cytokine and Interleukin 33. Yoshimichi Okayama combines subjects such as Downregulation and upregulation and Amphiregulin with his study of Immunology. His Mast cell research includes elements of Stem cell factor, Interleukin 5, Prostaglandin D2, Degranulation and Histamine.

In his research on the topic of Interleukin 5, Tryptase, Interleukin 6 and Chymase is strongly related with Interleukin 4. His Immunoglobulin E study which covers Inflammation that intersects with Fc receptor, Cellular differentiation and Progenitor cell. His work in Interleukin 33 covers topics such as Lymphocyte which are related to areas like Allergic response, T lymphocyte, Cell–cell interaction, Interleukin 25 and Basophil.

His most cited work include:

  • Interleukin 4 is localized to and released by human mast cells (520 citations)
  • Development, migration, and survival of mast cells. (328 citations)
  • IL-33 can promote survival, adhesion and cytokine production in human mast cells. (314 citations)

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

Yoshimichi Okayama mainly investigates Immunology, Mast cell, Immunoglobulin E, Cell biology and Interleukin 33. The various areas that Yoshimichi Okayama examines in his Immunology study include Receptor and Degranulation. His studies deal with areas such as Molecular biology, Stem cell factor, Downregulation and upregulation and Histamine as well as Mast cell.

His research in Immunoglobulin E tackles topics such as Immune system which are related to areas like Allergy. His Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Chemokine and Autocrine signalling. His biological study deals with issues like Interleukin 5, which deal with fields such as Mast and Interleukin 4.

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

  • Immunology (61.33%)
  • Immunoglobulin E (29.28%)
  • Cell biology (19.89%)

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

His main research concerns Immunology, Immunoglobulin E, Cell biology, Mast cell and Autoantibody. His study involves Allergy, Inflammation, Synovial Cell, Immune system and Interleukin 33, a branch of Immunology. Yoshimichi Okayama has included themes like Receptor, Stimulation and Antigen in his Immunoglobulin E study.

The concepts of his Cell biology study are interwoven with issues in Mast cell activation, Autocrine signalling, Innate lymphoid cell and Interleukin 5. His work deals with themes such as Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Histamine and Degranulation, which intersect with Mast cell. His Autoantibody research incorporates elements of Basophil and Control subjects.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Expression of Mas-related gene X2 on mast cells is upregulated in the skin of patients with severe chronic urticaria (157 citations)
  • Biomarkers of the involvement of mast cells, basophils and eosinophils in asthma and allergic diseases (74 citations)
  • Omega-3 fatty acid epoxides are autocrine mediators that control the magnitude of IgE-mediated mast cell activation. (26 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Immune system
  • Internal medicine

Yoshimichi Okayama mainly focuses on Immunology, Immunoglobulin E, Inflammation, Internal medicine and Asthma. As part of his studies on Immunology, Yoshimichi Okayama often connects relevant areas like Cancer research. His research in Immunoglobulin E intersects with topics in Respiratory tract, Respiratory system, Sensitization, Human metapneumovirus and Human bocavirus.

In his study, Receptor is inextricably linked to Endocrinology, which falls within the broad field of Internal medicine. His work carried out in the field of Interleukin 33 brings together such families of science as Natural killer T cell, Interleukin 12, Interleukin 21 and Interleukin 5. His Chymase study is associated with Mast cell.
