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

The elimination of progerin from vascular smooth muscle cells, but not from endothelial cells, prevents the atherosclerosis associated with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS)

The results, published in JACC, suggest that these factors could be used to predict the risk of developing dilated cardiomyopathy and adapt strategies for patient care and disease detection in genetic carriers of the disease

CNIC researchers, led by Dr. José Jalife, have made a key discovery about cardiac arrhythmias in Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS)
