    Nature: Scientists have uncovered alternative pathways for blood vessel growth that could help overcome resistance to anti-angiogenic cancer treatments

    A study involving CNIC researchers shows that blood vessels can grow in the absence of VEGF-VEGFR2 signalling, one of the pathways most commonly targeted for therapeutic purposes in clinical practice.

    Science Immunology: Busy Tissues Need Bigger Cleanup Crews to Work at Their Best

    The body's heart muscle (for pumping blood), skeletal muscle (for movement and posture), and brown fat (for heat production), each require a lot of energy and make a lot of waste. And that waste needs to be managed.
