Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Filipa Ponte's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying bone loss, particularly in the context of aging and estrogen deficiency. Her work investigates the role of specific cellular components and signaling pathways in maintaining bone homeostasis. Ponte has studied the contribution of mitochondrial Sirt3 to age-related bone loss and the impact of decreased NAD+ levels on osteoprogenitor cells and bone mass. She has also explored the function of RANK ligand in regulating osteoclast gene expression and the effect of Mmp13 deletion in mesenchymal cells on bone mass and cortical bone loss in mice. Ponte has published 27 papers, with a total of 420 citations and an h-index of 9. She has collaborated with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Maria Almeida, Stavros C. Manolagas, Aaron Warren, and Ha‐Neui Kim.
