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

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

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

Many forensic methods have never been scientifically validated – a major issue

MANY FORENSIC METHODS HAVE NEVER BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY VALIDATED, SCIENTISTS NOTE IN EDITORIAL Many of the “forensic science” methods commonly used in criminal cases and portrayed in popular police TV dramas have never been scientifically validated and may lead to unjust verdicts, according to an editorial in this week’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The authors

Drugs for obesity might come from a molecule that gives energy-burning brown fat its identity

A protein found in brown fat, but not typical white fat, is key to how the energy-burning brown fat cells function While most fat cells in the human body store energy, everyone has a small subset of brown fat cells that do the opposite—burn energy and generate heat. Now, Salk researchers have discovered how the

A new tool called CasRx targets RNA to correct a protein imbalance in cells from a dementia patient

Salk scientists create new molecular scissors to correct protein imbalance in cellular model of dementia Most people have heard of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, which acts as targeted molecular scissors to cut and replace disease-causing genes with healthy ones. But DNA is only part of the story; many genetic diseases are caused by problems with
