Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Apoptosis
  • Cytokine

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Apoptosis, Immunology, Osteoclast and Molecular biology. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Caspase 3, Cellular differentiation, APAF1 and T-cell receptor. His Immunology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Osteoprotegerin and Signal transduction.

His Osteoprotegerin research integrates issues from Periodontitis, Lymphocyte and Osteoimmunology, RANKL. His study in Osteoclast is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Endocrinology, Bone remodeling and CD8. His studies in Molecular biology integrate themes in fields like Complementation, Cytotoxic T cell, Nuclear protein, NFATC Transcription Factors and Transcription.

His most cited work include:

  • OPGL is a key regulator of osteoclastogenesis, lymphocyte development and lymph-node organogenesis (2875 citations)
  • Activated T cells regulate bone loss and joint destruction in adjuvant arthritis through osteoprotegerin ligand (1663 citations)
  • Essential role of the mitochondrial apoptosis-inducing factor in programmed cell death (1167 citations)

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

His main research concerns Cell biology, Immunology, Molecular biology, Notch signaling pathway and Cancer research. His Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Apoptosis, Ubiquitin ligase, Cellular differentiation and Cell growth. His study looks at the relationship between Immunology and topics such as In vivo, which overlap with In vitro and Immune system.

In his study, NFATC Transcription Factors, Nuclear protein, Complementation and Lymphocyte proliferation is inextricably linked to Transcription, which falls within the broad field of Molecular biology. His work deals with themes such as Osteoprotegerin, RANKL, RANK Ligand and Downregulation and upregulation, which intersect with Cancer research. He combines subjects such as Endocrinology, Bone remodeling, Lymphocyte and Osteoimmunology with his study of RANK Ligand.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (50.00%)
  • Immunology (29.66%)
  • Molecular biology (27.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Cell biology (50.00%)
  • Internal medicine (13.56%)
  • Stem cell (6.78%)

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

Young-Yun Kong mainly investigates Cell biology, Internal medicine, Stem cell, Hormone and Endocrinology. His research integrates issues of Apoptosis and Autocrine signalling in his study of Cell biology. His work on Senescence as part of general Internal medicine study is frequently connected to Hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His Stem cell research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Anatomy, LRP6, Bioinformatics and LRP5. His Hormone research includes elements of Progenitor cell and Genetically modified mouse. His Endocrinology study incorporates themes from Juvenile, Satellite, Regeneration and Adult stem cell.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Positive feedback regulation of p53 transactivity by DNA damage-induced ISG15 modification (43 citations)
  • Sex hormones establish a reserve pool of adult muscle stem cells (39 citations)
  • Selenophosphate synthetase 1 is an essential protein with roles in regulation of redox homoeostasis in mammals. (18 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Apoptosis
  • Cancer

Young-Yun Kong spends much of his time researching Cell growth, Carcinogenesis, Stem cell, Cell biology and Phosphorylation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Reactive oxygen species and Knockout mouse. His Carcinogenesis research includes themes of Wnt signaling pathway, LRP5, Angiogenesis, Autocrine signalling and Apoptosis.

His Stem cell research incorporates elements of Hormone, Internal medicine, Regeneration, LRP6 and Satellite. His biological study focuses on Signal transduction. Young-Yun Kong has researched Phosphorylation in several fields, including Cancer research, ISG15, Acetylation, Gene and Promoter.
