We're now recruiting early career group leaders at the Crick to lead ambitious research programmes and explore bold scientific questions.

Hear our Director, Edith Heard, explain why the Crick is a unique place for curiosity-driven research.

Apply now ➡️ www.crick.ac.uk/careers-stud...

⏰ Don't miss your chance to sign up for #EMBLCardioBiology!

Deadline is 15 Oct
➡️ https://s.embl.org/ncb26-01-bl

Listen to the keynote speakers
✨ James F. Martin (USA) and
✨ Alessandra Moretti (Germany)

as they talk about cardiovascular disease, regeneration and translational breakthroughs.

Upper panel: Immunostaining of zebrafish ventricles at 7 dpci after cryoinjury shows fewer macrophages (mpeg1:EGFP⁺, magenta) in gpnmb⁻/⁻ ventricles compared with wild-type. DAPI staining (blue) marks nuclei (B). Quantification confirms a significant reduction in macrophage numbers within the injured border zone of gpnmb⁻/⁻ tissue (C). Lower panel: Acid Fuchsin Orange-G (AFOG) stained sections of zebrafish cryoinjured ventricles show that gpnmb⁻/⁻ ventricles develop larger collagen-rich scars than wild-type at 30 and 90 dpci (F and G). Quantification illustrates greater proportions of large scar areas in gpnmb⁻/⁻ ventricles (H), indicating impaired scar resolution and delayed cardiac regeneration.

Hope for diabetes: CRISPR-edited cells pump out insulin in a person – and evade immune detection Edits create cells that don’t trigger an immune response, allowing implant recipient to forego immune-suppressing drugs.

Extremely sad to hear this. My heart goes out to you all ♥️

Am I the only one who gets teary-eyed reading the acknowledgment of people's thesis? 🥲

The buildup of cholesterol and inflammation in artery walls is a leading cause of heart disease.

Researchers led by Dr. Kathryn Howe, vascular surgeon at UHN's Peter Munk Cardiac Centre, are studying how the cells lining blood vessels communicate and drive this process.
