    eClinicalMedicine: Imaging the adolescent heart

    The results, published in eClinicalMedicine, have direct implications for clinical practice by providing a list of reference values for a multitude of cardiac parameters used in daily practice
    Cells use two mechanisms to detect force: one gradual and progressive mediated by newly identified large membrane depressions called dolines (left); the other abrupt, activated above a certain threshold, and mediated by minute membrane invaginations called caveolae (right).

    Nature Cell Biology: A CNIC study shows that cells possess 2 mechanisms to allow them to respond to different force ranges

    A study published in Nature Cell Biology confirms that caveolae are essential for the mechanical responses of tissues subject to large mechanical forces (such as muscle, heart, blood vessels, and fat), whereas larger membrane depressions (termed 'dolines') are important for the response to weak or medium-strength forces

    A CNIC project receives funding from the ”la Caixa” Foundation to investigate a type of fatal tachycardia

    The research team led by project leader Dr Silvia Priori is confident that the discovery of new therapies will reduce the mortality linked to this disease and could also reduce arrhythmias in heart failure patients
