Abstract
Heavy-ion collisions are the tool we have to recreate in laboratory the plasma of quarks and gluons. Studies of the QGP formation and properties have been carried on using several probes and now, thirty years after the first measurements at SPS energies, a large wealth of data is available from the high-energy experiments at RHIC and LHC.
Heavy-flavour production is considered among the most powerful tools to investigate the new state of matter and the new data can help to sharpen the behaviour of such observables in the created medium.
In this paper, an overview of the most recent results on open and closed heavy-flavour will be presented, with particular emphasis on the measurements from RHIC and LHC experiments.
