High-level marketing copy about this area that is understandable by users who aren’t scientists / are from the general public. Example from Salk - One thing’s for certain: we get older. But the biology of aging is still largely a mystery. As for getting sick as we age - we think that might be optional. At Salk, we are dechiphering the molecular and cellular causes of aging, and searching for ways to stave off Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease and other age-related ailments. We’re studying how the boyd heals itself, and we’re working on stem-cell technologies that may one day be used to replace organs damaged by injury and disease. They say aging isn’t for the timid, but we think bold science could help people stay healthy as they age.
Our researchers formulated a new medicine with regenerative potential in veterinary and human markets and launched Rapamycin Holdings.
Our research on tissue re-growth could revolutionize transplantation needs for patients around the world.
UT Health San Antonio is leading a study to explore the use of a patient’s own cells to regrow muscle tissue for aging patients who experience loss of muscle mass and function due to the effects of aging.

Saving infected teeth by regrowing
Children and young adults ages 6 to 20 who need a root canal are being sought for a clinical trial that will test two new dental techniques involving regenerative dentistry. The new procedures may help not only clear up tooth infections, but make it possible for the infected tooth to continue growing and developing to its full potential.
