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 study, published in JACC: CardioOncology, shows that administration of the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin to pigs receiving anthracyclines preserves mitochondrial function, improves myocardial energetics, and prevents degenerative changes in heart structure

Scientists at the CNIC have discovered how gut bacteria that cross a weakened intestinal barrier induce changes in bone marrow that strengthen the immune response

The findings of this study have been key for the development of REACT, a new research project, that will count on the collaboration of Santander Bank, and will expand the study of the age group for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, which will include 8,000 new participants.

The new project, ‘The Placenta in Maternal and Fetal Cardiovascular Health and Disease’, aims to understand how the placenta influences cardiovascular health in mothers and their children, promising improvements in the prevention and treatment of related diseases
