Returning to Italy she started her academic career in the University of Milan. She lived in Brugherio and worked in Milan.

Cattaneo has used her position to oppose unfounded claims made by companies offering stem cell remedies. The scientifically unsupported claims were primarily being made by a private well-connected company called the Stamina Foundation which had been started in 2009. The Stamina therapy involved recommending stem cells for a range of conditions with little or no scientific proof of their efficacy. Journalists including prestigious employees of the journal Nature were lied to and threatened. The scientific community’s consensus was against Stamina. Stamina took advantage of the well meaning supporters of very ill people who believed that Stamina’s claims was their only hope.
