Orally-active, clinically-translatable senolytics restore a-klotho in mice and humans. There you go that is the video. Boom. I’m joking, let’s take a look at this paper in more detail.
Klotho proteins are proteins found at the cell membrane . The gene encoding the protein was first uncovered in a mouse stain that displayed a complex aging phenotype suspected to be caused by a genetic alteration disrupting a putative “aging-suppressor” gene - because Klotho is the name of one of the goddesses of destiny in Greek mythology who spins the thread of life, the name was co-opted for the gene.
Whilst klotho goes down with aging, something else increases - the presence of senescent cells. But is this just correlation or causation?
