  Open heavy-flavour and quarkonia measurements are important tools to study
the hot and dense partonic medium formed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion
collisions. The modification of their production in those collisions, with
respect to the pp and p-Pb ones, can help in the characterization of this
medium. Quarkonia and open heavy-flavour production is measured in ALICE in the
three different collision systems, at mid- and forward rapidity. A selection of
those results recently obtained in Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions by the ALICE
Collaboration is presented.
