Overview

F. Patrick Ross is affiliated with the Hospital for Special Surgery in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on bone health, metabolism, and related diseases. They have contributed to a range of studies within medicine and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with a strong emphasis on orthopedics and sports medicine as well as molecular biology subfields.

Their recent publications reflect an interest in bone adaptation to physiological and mechanical stimuli, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis. Notable papers include:

  • Low bone mass resulting from impaired estrogen signaling in bone increases severity of load-induced osteoarthritis in female mice, 2021, Bone
  • Molecular Identification of Spatially Distinct Anabolic Responses to Mechanical Loading in Murine Cortical Bone, 2020, Journal of Bone and Mineral Research
  • PTH Treatment Increases Cortical Bone Mass More in Response to Compression than Tension in Mice, 2020, Journal of Bone and Mineral Research
  • Bone mass and adaptation to mechanical loading are sexually dimorphic in adult osteoblast-specific ERα knockout mice, 2022, Bone
  • The skeletal transcriptional response to mechanical load varies with age and tissue compartment in female mice, 2025, JBMR Plus
