The Relationship Between the Klotho Protein and Longevity
There has been a lot of research done during the past two years on a protein called Klotho. Discovered in mice in 1997, researchers found that a deficiency of this protein in mice caused them to age more quickly and die prematurely. As such, researchers believe...
Cracking the Aging Question with Klotho Therapy
Perhaps it is not surprising, particularly as we age, that the search for a “Fountain of Youth” becomes a more immediate task. That being said, however as Spanish explorer, Ponce de Leon can attest, finding that iconic body of water is a fool’s errand. Or is it? ...
Can Klotho Protein Prevent the Development of Alzheimer’s in Those at High Risk?
As people continue to live longer, certain medical conditions are going to become more common. This includes dementia, which can impact someone's cognitive abilities. One of the most common forms of dementia is Alzheimer's disease. Individuals who develop...
Tips for Raising Klotho Protein Levels
The Klotho protein occurs naturally in the human body. Scientists have been interested in this protein for years because of its links to anti-aging capabilities. Individuals with higher levels of this protein may have a slower aging process, have improved brain...
The Klotho Protein May Protect Individuals Against the Development of Alzheimer’s Disease
For years, scientists have been looking at the Klotho protein because of its potential ability to slow the aging process. Now, it appears that there might be a link between this protein and Alzheimer's disease. A recent study was conducted by the Boston University...
Klotho Early Biomarker for Chronic Kidney Disease
Klotho is defined as a transmembrane protein that is detected mainly in the brain and kidneys. Klotho is also expressed in kidney distal convoluted tubules and parathyroid cells, and it mediates the role of FGF-23 (a protein that is encoded by the FGF23 gene) in...
The Klotho Protein Has Promising Benefits Towards Neurodegenerative Disorders
The Klotho protein, which was discovered in 1997, was first noticed in transgenic mice. There is a mutation that showed up on this protein. This mutation indicated faster aging and ultimately a shorter lifespan. The four-week-old mice showed many premature signs of...
Fountain of Youth…Klotho: The Anti-Aging Gene
There has been a lot of focus recently on a specific protein called Klotho. It was first discovered in Japan approximately 20 years ago, and it has been a significant focus of the medical industry. A lot of people are paying attention to this protein because it may...
Biological Role of Anti-Aging Protein Klotho
Klotho is an anti-aging protein that is mostly detected in the kidney and brain. It was first identified in mice as an aging suppressor. Overexpression of this gene extends one's lifespan, while a deficiency can lead to aging faster or even early death. This gene...
Study Looks at the Relationship Between Klotho and Oocyte Development
Klotho protein has been studied extensively as a possible measure to reduce the impacts of aging; however, a recent study analyzed the antioxidant activity of the Klotho protein as it relates to reproductive signaling. Prior research has shown that this protein is...
Leonhardt’s Launchpads Accelerator To Showcase Eight Innovation Assets and Startups At 2022 Demo Day
Irvine, Calif., Nov. 16th, 2021 /PRDistribution/ -- Leonhardt's Launchpads announced today that they will showcase eight graduates of their innovation and startup launch accelerator program on a Demo Day. The event will occur both in person and virtually on Friday,...
Klotho the Anti-Aging Gene
The Klotho (KL) gene was identified as an anti-aging gene and has produced insights into how the aging process works. Researchers have uncovered several functions of Klotho, but future research should investigate the location of Klotho receptors and downstream...
Study Looks at the Relationship Between Klotho and Oocyte Development
Klotho protein has been studied extensively as a possible measure to reduce the impacts of aging; however, a recent study analyzed the antioxidant activity of the Klotho protein as it relates to reproductive signaling. Prior research has shown that this protein is...
Klotho Anti-Aging Research Reveals Treatment Potential
Aging brings all sorts of problems no matter how well people take care of their bodies. Part of the reason why is the decline of the Klotho gene present in our bodies with every year that passes. A primary concern arising includes how declines of Klothos have on...
Klotho Effect on Cardiovascular Functioning
According to numerous studies, the Klotho protein seems to have a positive effect on the body. For example, it may contribute to heart health and cardiovascular maintenance. Considering that various CVDs caused 32 percent of all worldwide deaths in 2019, this could...
