    Nature: A gut microbiota metabolite linked to atherosclerosis could revolutionise diagnosis and treatment

    A new study led by the CNIC has identified imidazole propionate (ImP), a metabolite produced by gut bacteria, as a driver of atherosclerosis— as a driver of atherosclerosis, the disease behind most heart attacks and strokes

    Circulation Research: CNIC scientists uncover how the immune response drives atherosclerosis—the root cause of heart attacks and strokes

    A team from the CNIC has discovered the key role of conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1) in atherosclerosis and has developed an experimental therapy with immunosuppressive nanoparticles that slows the progression of the disease in animal models.

    Circulation: The heart remembers: scientists describe how early-life cardiac injury in parents influences the development and function of the heart in the next generation

    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.
