A study from the CNIC, published in Nature Communications, reveals how caveolae allow adipocytes to expand safely, storing fat without breaking or causing inflammation

The National Center for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC), and the Health Research Institute of Hospital 12 de Octubre (i+12), representing SERMAS, are actively participating in JACARDI through different pilot projects

A study by the CNIC and Fundación SHE, supported by “la Caixa” Foundation, demonstrates that schools are a crucial environment for health promotion in children

A study by CNIC researchers published in Nature has found that the omega-6 fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), present in breast milk, plays an essential role in ensuring the proper functioning of the heart after birth

A study published in Nature Cell Biology confirms that caveolae are essential for the mechanical responses of tissues subject to large mechanical forces (such as muscle, heart, blood vessels, and fat), whereas larger membrane depressions (termed 'dolines') are important for the response to weak or medium-strength forces

A CNIC team has shown that the  retinoid and unsaturated fatty acid sensor RXR is a key protein in the maintenance of a balanced production of the different types of blood cells

The research team led by project leader Dr Silvia Priori is confident that the discovery of new therapies will reduce the mortality linked to this disease and could also reduce arrhythmias in heart failure patients

The study, published in JACC, forms part of the PESA-CNIC-SANTANDER project, led by Dr Valentín Fuster
