    CNIC, first Spanish center to coordinate a project from the Leducq Foundation

    The project has been set up to examine how and why the capacity to develop new cardiac cells and repair the heart after an acute injury is lost with growth
    A 3-dimensional magnetic resonance image form a patient who has undergone an acute myocardial infarction. The heart is visible in the center of the image. Healthy (non-infarcted) cardiac muscle is indicated by asterisks, whereas arrows point to the infarcted region. MRI can reveal the extent of the area affected by inflammation after a heart attack (the yellow infarcted region marked by arrows). Serial MRI studies reveal thta this inflammatory reaction appears immediately after the infarction but then rapid

    Circulation: Dogma overturned: new studies into inflammation in the infarcted heart could lead to changes in therapy

    The study overturns the dogma that infarction is followed by progressive repair of the injured myocardium.
    Photo 1: The authors are holding in their hands illustrations of cells expressing different combinations of membrane and nuclei fluorescent proteins. This corresponds to the method we developed (present in the article) to differentially label cells expressing different genes (with the codes A to F). Each cell expresses a different combination of 2 genes from a pool of 6 different genes (A, B, C, D, E, and F).
