This makes the need for anti-aging therapies all the more urgent. Now, Salk Institute researchers have developed a new gene therapy that is showing promise as a possible way to decelerate the aging process in humans. It uses CRISPR genome-editing technology.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nextavenue.org\/new-gene-therapy-slow-aging-humans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both;\">Read more<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Editor\u2019s note: This podcast is from The Not Old \u2013 Better Show.)
