The NeutroCure project focuses on reactive oxygen species (ROS), which play central roles in healthy animals, such as redox signalling to regulate cell growth

The project aims to study how certain mutations acquired in blood cells and traditionally associated with a high risk of developing leukemia can also contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and become a new and independent cardiovascular risk factor to classical factors

CNIC researchers have defined the dynamics of  the transfer of mitochondrial DNA from mothers to their offspring

Dra. Ivana Nikolić studies the role of T cells in the development of diseases associated with obesity

EMBO promotes excellence in scientific research, and one of its major goals is to support talented researchers at all stages of their careers

Image: In the picture, individual endothelial cells have different fluorescent barcodes and mitogenic stimulations, allowing the non-invasive fate-mapping of their proliferative and migratory behaviours over time.

CNIC scientists have shown for the first time that a protein related to cell stress also regulates cell division

• Adiponectin, secreted by adipose tissue, protects against the development of the main form of liver cancer
• Women produce the hormone in larger quantities than men, and adiponectin release also declines in people with obesity
• The results open the route to combating a cancer for which there is currently no treatment and that is the fourth cause of death in the world.
