Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Stavros C. Manolagas' research focuses on the fundamental regulatory mechanisms governing the birth and death of bone cells, with significant implications for understanding and treating osteoporosis. His work has investigated the role of various factors, including glucocorticoids, estrogen loss, and androgens, in influencing osteoblastogenesis and osteoclast development. He has also explored the impact of matrix-embedded cells on osteoclast formation and the potential of parathyroid hormone to prevent osteoblast apoptosis and increase bone formation.

Manolagas' scholarship includes over 180 publications, with an h-index of 85 and more than 29,000 citations, indicating a substantial body of highly cited work. He has served as PI on federal grants, including funding from the NIH for research on androgens, estrogens, and bone loss in males. His collaborations within the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences include extensive work with researchers such as Horacio Gómez-Acevedo, Michela Palmieri, Elena Ambrogini, and Teenamol E. Joseph.
