Scientists identify brain circuit used to consciously slow breathing and confirm this reduces anxiety and negative emotions

Time-restricted eating benefits adults with metabolic syndrome: Patients who ate within an 8-10 hour window for 3 months showed improved blood sugar regulation and metabolic markers compared to standard treatments

CBN (cannabinol) is a lesser-known cannabinoid derived from cannabis, like THC and CBD

Researchers have discovered how high-fat diets can change gut bacteria and alter digestive molecules called bile acids that are modified by those bacteria, predisposing mice to colorectal cancer

A new model for understanding human brain immune cells and neurological disorders: scientists establish organoid model for understanding how brain immune cells impact brain conditions, like autism spectrum disorder and Alzheimer’s disease

Scientists discovered more than 3,800 small proteins involved in metabolism and found one microprotein, Gm8773, increases feeding activity in mice—providing a potential new approach to encourage weight gain in people with cancer and other diseases

Study shows promise for the development of gene therapies to repair hearing loss by delivering the protein EPS8 via gene therapy, that rescues malfunctioning inner ear hair cells that transduce sound

Making a memory positive or negative. Researchers pinpoint a neurotransmitter that helps assign positive or negative emotions to a memory

Link found between immune system and hair growth

Cellular rejuvenation therapy safely reverses signs of aging in mice

Active Ingredient in Cannabis Protects Aging Brain Cells

First immune-evading cells created to treat type 1 diabetes - Salk Institute for Biological Studies

New maps of chemical marks on DNA pinpoint regions relevant to many developmental diseases: Researchers mapped how DNA methylation changes over time in mice to better understand developmental disorders

How Caloric Restriction Works

HIV advances -- Imaging study of key viral structure shows how HIV drugs work at atomic level

Alzheimer’s drug candidates reverse broader aging study shows

Researchers report the discovery of three cell types in the eye that detect light and align the brain's circadian rhythm to our ambient light to help the brain tell day from night and establish healthy day-night cycles -- the 1st direct assessment in humans of light responses from these cells.

Scientists discover brain circuit in mice that controls compulsive drinking of alcohol

To scientists’ surprise, organs are a mix of young and old cells

When neurons are out of shape, antidepressants may not work

Discovery of a potent neuroprotective chemical in a native California shrub may lead to a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, tested on mouse nerve cells

Scientists have developed a technique to directly convert cells in an open wound into new skin cells in mice, by reprogramming the cells to a stem-cell-like state, which could be useful for healing skin damage, countering the effects of aging and helping us to better understand skin cancer.

Eating in 10-hour window can override disease-causing genetic defects

Scientists have discovered how learned behaviors are organized and controlled by different brain cell types, offering insight into disorders such as Parkinson's disease or obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Research shows that cells from older people have impaired mitochondria, reducing energy production

Salk researchers have demonstrated in mice that hemophilia B can be treated for life with one single injection containing disease-free liver cells that can produce their missing clotting factor

Salk scientists curb growth of cancer cells by blocking access to key nutrients through control of circadian clock.

CRISPR genetic editing takes another big step forward, targeting RNA - Salk scientists create new molecular scissors to correct protein imbalance in cellular model of dementia.

While most fat cells in the human body store energy, a small subset of brown fat cells does the opposite—burn energy and generate heat
