    Circulation Research: CNIC scientists identify the molecular mechanisms controlling the genes involved in proper formation of the heart valves

    The findings, published in the journal Circulation Research, not only highlight the gene regulatory mechanisms that control valve formation, but also offer clues for future medical advances

    Dr. Francisco Sánchez-Madrid awarded the 2023 Robert Koch Prize

    This work is of fundamental importance for understanding the immune system and its reactions

    Neuregulin-1 induces changes in actin filaments during ventricular maturation. Actinin staining of a mouse embryo heart reveals a striated actin pattern corresponding to mature trabecular sarcomeres (green). The magnified view shows the differences in luminosity that distinguish the more organized actin filaments of the trabecular myocardium from the less organized compact layer

    CIRCULATION RESEARCH: CNIC scientists identify the crucial role of the protein neuregulin-1 in heart development

    Neuregulin-1 (Nrg1) plays an essential role in the transformation of the heart from its delicate primordial structure into the powerful beating mature organ
