The finding provides a basis for mitigating the loss of muscle regenerative capacity in elderly people and for improving muscle repair in young healthy people

A new study published in eLife shows that small cups or nanofolds on the cell membrane called caveolae, by limiting abrupt changes in membrane tension, regulate the number and activity of mechanical microsensors on the cell surface called integrins

The results of the SPHERE-HF study are published in the European Journal of Heart Failure. SPHERE-HF is a multicenter academic clinical trial led by investigators at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) and Hospital Clínic de Barcelona

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 CNIC study reveals that mutations previously identified in the gene MINDBOMB1 (MIB1) as causing non-compaction cardiomyopathy either provoke this disease or valve defects, depending on their combination with mutations in modifier genes

CNIC scientists have identified a molecular mechanism that accounts for the arrhythmias, skeletal muscle weakness, and periodic paralysis in patients with this rare disease

The findings, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), will enable physicians to make appropriate treatment adjustments for patients with this disease

Excess weight and metabolic syndrome are associated with cardiovascular disease, suggesting that health promotion programs in schools should teach good sleep habits
