Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Olivia Reyes‐Castro's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying skeletal development and maintenance, with a particular emphasis on the role of cellular senescence and metabolism in bone health and disease. Her recent publications investigate the NAD salvage pathway in mesenchymal cells, its essential role in skeletal development in mice, and the identification of senescent osteocytes that contribute to bone destruction in breast cancer metastasis. Reyes‐Castro also explores the impact of estrogen on bone mass through its inhibition of NAD+ metabolism in osteoclasts. Her work utilizes single-cell transcriptomic analysis to understand cellular landscapes in aging bone and disease contexts.
Reyes‐Castro collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Aric Anloague, Hayley M. Sabol, Japneet Kaur, and Elena Ambrogini, with whom she shares numerous publications. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 3, with 43 total publications and 32 total citations.
