An international team of scientists has discovered that enhancing levels of a naturally occurring protein can significantly improve longevity and vitality in aging mammals. This finding opens new possibilities for combating age-related decline through a novel biological intervention.
Boosting Klotho protein levels in mice improves physical and cognitive aging, offering potential for future longevity therapies.
A global research effort led by the Institut de Neurociències at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (INc-UAB) has demonstrated that elevating levels of the Klotho protein in mice can extend their lifespan and enhance both physical and cognitive function as they age.
