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 findings, published in the journal Circulation Research, not only highlight the gene regulatory mechanisms that control valve formation, but also offer clues for future medical advances

The team led by Dr. Pablo García-Pavía, based at the CNIC and Hospital Puerta de Hierro, has published the first study of a drug able to remove amyloid deposits from the heart

The experimental study, led by researchers at the CNIC, shows that boosting the expression of this adrenalin receptor in heart cells improves mitochondrial function in the heart

A new study published in eLife shows that inhibition of p38γ/δ is a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, but that this strategy has yet to be explored because of the lack of specific inhibitors for these p38 family members

The 3D atlas has allowed the scientists to identify the beginning of left–right asymmetry in the heart

The new findings, published in Circulation Research, could spur the development of new tools for the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy
