The projects—led by Drs Almudena Ramiro, José Antonio Enríquez, and Silvia Priori—will receive a total of €5.25 million for CNIC research over the next 5 years

This new tool will advance the development of treatments for congenital muscle diseases and cardiomyopathies. 

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

A CNIC team has developed an innovative gene therapy strategy for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy type 5 (ARVC5), a rare and deadly inherited condition that particularly affects young men

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.

The CNIC has been allocated €405,625 for its involvement in GRACE, a project focused on developing innovative strategies to improve the detection and management of cardiovascular diseases.
