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.

CNIC researchers have discovered that the heart is formed from two independent cell types that act in synchrony from the onset of gastrulation. This finding could help to better understand the origin of certain congenital heart defects and open up new opportunities in regenerative medicine and tissue bioengineering.

A study led by the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC), in collaboration with the Instituto de Investigación Biomédica de Barcelona (IRB Barcelona), has identified the most effective subtype of dendritic cell for generating immune memory in response to cancer

Scientists at the CNIC and the University of Bern have found that heart surgery in male mice early in life creates a "memory" passed down to the next generation. Published in Circulation, the study suggests that a parental history of heart surgery should be considered when evaluating cardiovascular health in descendants.
