Will Klotho Prevent or Slow Dementia?
Klotho: Hope For Increased Longevity And Reduced Neurodegenerative Disease
“Renewed interest in a protein called klotho is pervading the scientific world. Klotho is a known anti-inflammatory protein that also contains anti-aging properties. In this two-part series, we will explore what klotho is, how it might impact inflammatory brain diseases, and how it ultimately prevents aging.”

Klotho: Hope For Increased Longevity And Reduced Neurodegenerative Disease (Part 1)
In this short series, I provide a brief overview of an anti-aging protein called klotho and how it may lead to new insights and treatments for age-related diseases.

Longevity factor klotho enhances cognition in aged nonhuman primates | Nature Aging
Cognitive dysfunction in aging is a major biomedical challenge. Whether treatment with klotho, a longevity factor, could enhance cognition in human-relevant models such as in nonhuman primates is unknown and represents a major knowledge gap in the path to therapeutics. We validated the rhesus form of the klotho protein in mice showing it increased synaptic plasticity and cognition. We then found that a single administration of low-dose, but not high-dose, klotho enhanced memory in aged nonhuman primates. Systemic low-dose klotho treatment may prove therapeutic in aging humans. Cognitive dysfunction in aging is a major biomedical challenge without medical therapies. Here, Castner et al. show that longevity factor klotho enhances cognition in aged nonhuman primates, increasing its relevance for a therapeutic path to humans.
Oh, mysterious klotho, your power I can see
Your injection brings benefits to me
Your gift of a brain boost
Gives us a chance to take the absolute most
From the memory that you so graciously bestow
