Can these experimental drugs reverse broader aging in humans as they appear to have done in mice?

Salk researchers show how two experimental Alzheimer’s drugs protect the brains of mice from other aspects of aging In mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease, the investigational drug candidates known as CMS121 and J147 improve memory and slow the degeneration of brain cells. Now, Salk researchers have shown how these compounds can also slow aging in

Discovered: A gene that determines whether roots grow deep or shallow in the soil

Salk team’s finding will advance initiative to reduce atmospheric carbon through plants Hidden underground networks of plant roots snake through the earth foraging for nutrients and water, similar to a worm searching for food. Yet, the genetic and molecular mechanisms that govern which parts of the soil roots explore remain largely unknown. Now, Salk Institute

A new CRISPR-Cas9 therapy can suppress aging, enhance health and extend life span in mice

Putting the brakes on aging Aging is a leading risk factor for a number of debilitating conditions, including heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, to name a few. This makes the need for anti-aging therapies all the more urgent. Now, Salk Institute researchers have developed a new gene therapy to help decelerate the aging process.

New methods to identify Alzheimer’s drug candidates that have anti-aging properties

Salk research focuses on the development of compounds that may protect against the diseases of aging, such as Alzheimer’s Old age is the greatest risk factor for many diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and cancer. Geroprotectors are a recently identified class of anti-aging compounds. New Salk research has now identified a unique subclass of these

Turning open wounds into skin through the alchemy of healing

Salk scientists develop new technique to heal large ulcers by reprogramming wound cells into skin cells Plastic surgery to treat large cutaneous ulcers, including those seen in people with severe burns, bedsores or chronic diseases such as diabetes, may someday be a thing of the past. Scientists at the Salk Institute have developed a technique

Single injection treats hemophilia B for life, in proof-of-concept study

The Salk approach, tested in a mouse model, points to cheaper and more effective treatments for humans For most people with hemophilia B, whose bodies can’t properly form blood clots, constant injections to replenish their clotting factors are a way of life. But now, Salk researchers have demonstrated in mice that hemophilia B can be
