Overview

Federica Sotgia is a researcher affiliated with the University of Salford in the United Kingdom. Their academic contributions primarily focus on biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with additional work in the field of medicine. Their research spans several interconnected subfields, including molecular biology, cancer research, oncology, infectious diseases, and cell biology.

The main topics investigated by Sotgia include mitochondrial function and pathology, cancer-related processes such as hypoxia and metabolism, cancer cell biology and metastasis, ATP synthase and ATPases research, RNA modifications in cancer, epigenetics and DNA methylation, as well as clinical studies related to COVID-19.

Frequent publication venues where Sotgia's work appears include Aging, Cells, Frontiers in Oncology, Cell Death and Differentiation, and Cell Death and Disease. The number of publications in these journals indicates a focus particularly strong on Aging and Cells.

Recent notable papers authored or co-authored by Sotgia include:

  • COVID-19 and chronological aging: senolytics and other anti-aging drugs for the treatment or prevention of corona virus infection?, 2020, Aging
  • High ATP Production Fuels Cancer Drug Resistance and Metastasis: Implications for Mitochondrial ATP Depletion Therapy, 2021, Frontiers in Oncology
  • Bedaquiline, an FDA-approved drug, inhibits mitochondrial ATP production and metastasis in vivo, by targeting the gamma subunit (ATP5F1C) of the ATP synthase, 2021, Cell Death and Differentiation
  • Cholesterol and Mevalonate: Two Metabolites Involved in Breast Cancer Progression and Drug Resistance through the ERRα Pathway, 2020, Cells
  • Deferiprone (DFP) Targets Cancer Stem Cell (CSC) Propagation by Inhibiting Mitochondrial Metabolism and Inducing ROS Production, 2020, Cells

Sotgia has collaborated frequently with several co-authors, notably Michael P. Lisanti, Marco Fiorillo, Béla Ózsvári, Matteo Brindisi, and Zahra Moftakhar. These collaborations reflect ongoing research efforts within the fields of cancer biology and mitochondrial dysfunction.

The distribution of research output shows a focus on molecular mechanisms underlying disease, particularly cancer and aging, as well as therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondrial metabolism.
