Graduate at Dentistry from University of São Paulo (2006) and Ph.D. in Cell and Tissue Biology (2011). At the present moment, is a post doc researcher at the New York University School of Medicine, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. Experienced in Histology and Cell Biology, focusing at formation and resorption of mineralized tissues (bone and teeth), acting on the following subjects: odontogenesis, tooth eruption, bone formation and remodelling in physiologic and pathologic events, effects of bisphosphonates on these tissues, and other aspects of oral biology. Has experience in light, transmission and scanning electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry and molecular biology applied to experiments in vivo and in vitro. Co-author of the text book "Biologia Celular e Tecidual para Odontologia: Moléculas, Células e Tecidos" (Arana e Bradaschia, Ed. Elsevier, 2012). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The function of clastic cells is to degrade mineralized tissues in physiological or pathological conditions. To perform their function, they develop podosomes that contain actin filaments arranged in a ring-shaped manner in order to attach to their substrate. The adhesion is mediated by ±v²3 integrins in the plasma membrane to the RGD sequence of non-collagenous matrix proteins. In the ru…
