A CNIC study reveals that neutrophils—a type of immune cell—are less aggressive at night, explaining why nighttime heart attacks are less severe than those occurring during the day

Dr. Alegre-Cebollada will be recognized for the pioneering the study of protein mechanics in living systems, revealing how mechanical forces govern protein function and contribute to human disease.

El ¹⁸FDG-PET is a type of positron emission tomography that measures how much energy the body’s cells consume.

CNIC researchers have uncovered the evolutionary logic of the OxPhos system—the cell’s “engine”—and developed a tool to detect mutations that cause mitochondrial disease

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.

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
