iFlpMosaics is a new technology presented in Nature Methods that allows the modification and study of gene function in mouse models, advancing research on diseases caused by somatic mutations, such as cancer and vascular malformations.

The method, validated in a multicenter study led by the Hospital Clínico San Carlos and the CNIC, enables preoperative planning based on a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging strategy that avoids the biases intrinsic to conventional image analysis

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

A study published in the journal eBiomedicine identifies new biomarkers that predict the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis

Scientists at the CNIC have led the development of a new three dimensional ultrasound method that improves the assessment of cardiovascular risk in healthy individuals

The safety, availability, and robust biological effect of metoprolol could together be enough to consider its use in young patients admitted to the ICU with severe COVID-19

CNIC and the Mario Negri Institute in Milan (Italy) coordinate REBOOT, a project that aims to study whether treatment with beta-blockers is beneficial for patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction

In an article published in JACC, CNIC scientists report a method for improved ranking of cardiovascular risk in individuals without diabetes
