Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Stavros C. Manolagas' research focuses on the mechanisms underlying bone loss, particularly as it relates to aging and estrogen deficiency. His work investigates cellular and molecular pathways involved in bone remodeling and density. Recent publications explore the role of mitochondrial Sirt3 in age-associated bone loss and the impact of neutralizing oxidized phospholipids on bone density in mice. Other studies examine the function of RANK ligand in osteoclast gene expression and the effects of deleting specific genes, such as Mmp13 in mesenchymal cells, on bone mass. Manolagas also studies the relationship between immune factors, like anti phosphocholine IgM antibodies, and bone mineral density in human populations.

He leads a research group at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, where he holds the designation of Distinguished Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine. His collaborative network includes several colleagues from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom he has co-authored numerous publications. Manolagas is recognized as a highly cited researcher, evidenced by his h-index of 85 and over 29,000 citations across his 183 publications.
