The National Center for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC), and the Health Research Institute of Hospital 12 de Octubre (i+12), representing SERMAS, are actively participating in JACARDI through different pilot projects

A study from CNIC reveals how risk factors and subclinical atherosclerosis affect heart microcirculation in asymptomatic middle-aged individuals. The research, published in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, highlights the importance of assessing the heart vessels' ability to regulate blood flow and predict future cardiovascular risk

The new study, published in the journal Circulation, opens a new avenue of research into treatments for the atherosclerosis associated with progeria

iSuRe-HadCre promises to become an essential tool for biomedical research using mouse models to modify and understand gene function

Globally, cardiovascular diseases due to atherosclerosis – the build-up of plaque in arteries – are the leading cause of death. A new Danish-Spanish research collaboration aims to develop methods to detect atherosclerosis at earlier ages and encourage prevention. Denmark’s Novo Nordisk Foundation has granted up to EUR 23 million to cover the first 2.5 years of the REACT initiative. The initiative is expected to run for 8 years in total

The elimination of progerin from vascular smooth muscle cells, but not from endothelial cells, prevents the atherosclerosis associated with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS)
