Salk Institute researchers have identified that the protein Mitf plays a crucial role in repairing nerve damage in peripheral neuropathy. This breakthrough paves the way…
Researchers from the Salk Institute, in a global collaboration, have produced a detailed atlas of human brain cells by analyzing over half a million cells.…
Human hand marked with GlowTrack fluorescent tags. Credit: Salk Institute Salk scientists create GlowTrack to track human and animal behavior with better resolution and more…
The researchers developed experiments that combine microelectrode arrays made from transparent graphene, and two-photon imaging, a microscopy technique that can image living tissue up to…
Salk Institute researchers have developed a new compound that acts like a master reset switch in the intestines. In a new study, the compound, called…
When genetic mutations cause chromosomes to break apart and fuse together in different ways, normal cells can become cancerous. In this image, normal chromosomes (blue)…
In new research, scientists reveal another factor implicated in the aging process—a class of lipids called SGDGs that decline in the brain with age and…
Liver cells were partially reprogrammed into younger cells (red) using Yamanaka factors (white). The cell nuclei (blue) and cytoskeletal proteins (green) are also shown. Credit:…
Anti-aging artist’s concept. Salk researchers treated mice with anti-aging regimen beginning in middle age and found no increase in cancer or other health problems later…
Salk scientists developed a technique of using sound waves to control brain cells, dubbed sonogenetics, to selectively and noninvasively turn on groups of neurons. It…
Insulin and FGF1 both regulate blood sugar levels using independent pathways. Credit: Salk Institute New molecular pathway controls blood glucose, circumventing insulin resistance. The discovery…
Scanning electron microscopy image of SiC petrified corn husks. Credit: UC San Diego Salk scientists quantify process to permanently store plant-captured CO2 as SiC, a…
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…
Parkin protein (green signal) is in a different part of the cell than the mitochondria (red signal) at time 0 (left image) but then co-localizes…
Salk research reveals clues about molecular changes underlying muscle loss tied to aging. One of the many effects of aging is loss of muscle mass,…
Representative images of vascular endothelial control cells (left) and cells treated with the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein (right) show that the spike protein causes increased mitochondrial…
The NIRVANA field-test kit. Credit: Mo Li/KAUST The field test, called NIRVANA, can simultaneously detect and sequence SARS-CoV-2, influenza and other viruses. Clinicians using a…
Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria, pictured here, is a common gut bacteria in both humans and animals. There are many different strains, some of which…
Skin fibroblasts were successfully reprogrammed into the smooth muscle cells (red) and endothelial cells (white) which surround blood vessels. The cells’ nuclei are shown in…
