    Circulation Research: CNIC scientists uncover how the immune response drives atherosclerosis—the root cause of heart attacks and strokes

    A team from the CNIC has discovered the key role of conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1) in atherosclerosis and has developed an experimental therapy with immunosuppressive nanoparticles that slows the progression of the disease in animal models.

    iSuRe-HadCre promises to become an essential tool for biomedical research using mouse models to modify and understand gene function
    Neuregulin-1 induces changes in actin filaments during ventricular maturation. Actinin staining of a mouse embryo heart reveals a striated actin pattern corresponding to mature trabecular sarcomeres (green). The magnified view shows the differences in luminosity that distinguish the more organized actin filaments of the trabecular myocardium from the less organized compact layer
