Researchers at Salk Institute discovered that the neural networks responsible for spatial perception change in a non-linear fashion and could have implications for neurodegenerative conditions…
Scientists uncovered over 3,800 tiny proteins that play a role in metabolism and discovered that one microprotein, Gm8773, boosts feeding activity in mice – offering…
Researchers demonstrate that organoids react to external sensory stimuli using cutting-edge recording technology. A group of engineers and neuroscientists have shown, for the first time,…
Salk researchers find that timing calorie intake synchronizes circadian rhythms across multiple systems in mice. Numerous studies have shown health benefits of time-restricted eating including…
New therapeutic has the potential to treat inflammatory bowel disease by targeting a molecule that keeps order in the intestines. Salk Institute scientists have developed…
New discoveries about cancer-causing genetic mutations may lead to improved ways of predicting and treating the disease. Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in…
The molecules, called SGDGs, may lead to new ways to treat age-related neurological diseases. Aging involves complicated plot twists and a large cast of characters,…
Salk scientists improve liver regeneration in mice, which could lead to new treatments for liver disease. Mammals can’t typically regenerate organs as efficiently as other…
Salk researchers treated mice with anti-aging regimen beginning in middle age and found no increase in cancer or other health problems later on. Age may…
Salk researchers pinpoint a sound-sensitive mammalian protein that lets them activate brain, heart or other cells with ultrasound. Salk scientists have engineered mammalian cells to…
New molecular pathway controls blood glucose, circumventing insulin resistance. The discovery of insulin 100 years ago opened a door that would lead to life and…
Salk scientists quantify process to permanently store plant-captured CO2 as SiC, a valuable material for electronics. Plants are unparalleled in their ability to capture CO2…
Not everyone benefits equally from time-restricted eating, as health benefits depend on age and sex. Time-restricted eating (TRE), a dietary regimen that restricts eating to…
Enzyme with central role in cancer and type 2 diabetes also activates “clean-up” protein in Parkinson’s. When cells are stressed, chemical alarms go off, setting…
Salk Institute research reveals clues about molecular changes underlying muscle loss tied to aging. One of the many effects of aging is loss of muscle…
Salk scientists reveal new insights into neurodegenerative disorders and potential for genetic therapies. Neurons lack the ability to replicate their DNA, so they’re constantly working…
Salk researchers and collaborators show how the protein damages cells, confirming COVID-19 as a primarily vascular disease. Scientists have known for a while that SARS-CoV-2’s…
The field test, called NIRVANA, can simultaneously detect and sequence SARS-CoV-2, influenza and other viruses. Clinicians using a new viral screening test can not only…
