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.

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.

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

Scientists at the CNIC, CIBER, and University of Berne identify the fundamental role of a family of proteins in an essential process for cellular energy production

This work is of fundamental importance for understanding the immune system and its reactions

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

Immune therapy based on nasal administration of a preparation of dead bacteria called MV130 prevents death in experimental animals infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and increases the immunogenicity of COVID-19 vaccines
