Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Pulmonary surfactant, Surfactant protein A, Collectin and Molecular biology. His Pulmonary surfactant research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pulmonary Surfactant-Associated Protein D, Phospholipid and Molecular mass. The study incorporates disciplines such as Proinflammatory cytokine, Bronchoalveolar lavage, Immunology and Surfactant protein D in addition to Surfactant protein A.

His work carried out in the field of Bronchoalveolar lavage brings together such families of science as Respiratory disease, Pulmonary alveolus, Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, Pulmonary Surfactant-Associated Protein A and Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. As a part of the same scientific family, Yoshio Kuroki mostly works in the field of Collectin, focusing on Mannose and, on occasion, Lectin. Yoshio Kuroki has researched Molecular biology in several fields, including Plasma protein binding and Protein A.

His most cited work include:

  • Serial Changes in Surfactant-associated Proteins in Lung and Serum before and after Onset of ARDS (345 citations)
  • Comparative sequence analysis of leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) within vertebrate toll-like receptors (287 citations)
  • Direct binding of toll-like receptor 2 to zymosan, and zymosan-induced NF-κB activation and TNF-α secretion are down-regulated by lung collectin surfactant protein A (273 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Pulmonary surfactant, Surfactant protein A, Biochemistry, Molecular biology and Pathology. The concepts of his Pulmonary surfactant study are interwoven with issues in Phospholipid, Protein A, Immunology, Internal medicine and Monoclonal antibody. His studies examine the connections between Surfactant protein A and genetics, as well as such issues in Innate immune system, with regards to Phagocytosis.

His study brings together the fields of Epitope and Biochemistry. The Molecular biology study combines topics in areas such as Cell culture, A549 cell, Plasma protein binding and Mutant. Yoshio Kuroki usually deals with Pathology and limits it to topics linked to Lung and Fibrosis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pulmonary surfactant (37.44%)
  • Surfactant protein A (30.26%)
  • Biochemistry (30.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2017)?

  • Innate immune system (11.79%)
  • Microbiology (10.77%)
  • Collectin (15.90%)

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

Yoshio Kuroki spends much of his time researching Innate immune system, Microbiology, Collectin, Surfactant protein D and Molecular biology. Yoshio Kuroki interconnects Surfactant protein A, Phagocytosis, Cell biology and CD14 in the investigation of issues within Innate immune system. Yoshio Kuroki has included themes like Lung and Pulmonary surfactant in his Phagocytosis study.

His Pulmonary surfactant research integrates issues from Pathology, Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, Endothelium, Bronchoalveolar lavage and Compartmentalization. His Collectin study combines topics in areas such as Pulmonary Surfactant-Associated Protein A and First line. His Surfactant protein D research is included under the broader classification of Biochemistry.

Between 2009 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Hepatitis C Virus Core Protein Subverts the Antiviral Activities of Human Kupffer Cells (69 citations)
  • Molecular evolution of vertebrate Toll-like receptors: evolutionary rate difference between their leucine-rich repeats and their TIR domains (63 citations)
  • HIV-1 Vpr induces TLR4/MyD88-mediated IL-6 production and reactivates viral production from latency (57 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

Yoshio Kuroki mostly deals with Innate immune system, Molecular biology, Genetics, Leucine-rich repeat and TLR4. His Innate immune system research includes elements of Phagocytosis, Microbiology and Cell biology. His research integrates issues of Pulmonary Surfactant-Associated Protein D, Legionella pneumophila, Pulmonary Surfactant-Associated Protein A and Macrophage in his study of Phagocytosis.

His work deals with themes such as Epidermal growth factor, Ligand, Downregulation and upregulation, A549 cell and Blot, which intersect with Molecular biology. His Collectin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Lectin and Lung. His Lung research includes themes of CD14 and Pulmonary surfactant.
