[12] [13] [14] It has since been shown that Klotho can act to protect against Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis. [7] The mechanisms that underpin Klotho's enhancement of cognitive ability are still unknown. [7] Alongside working on mouse models, in 2019, Dubal was the first to show that Klotho may protect people from Alzheimer's disease.
The klotho protein is a novel β-glucuronidase (EC number 3.2.1.31) capable of hydrolyzing steroid β-glucuronides. Genetic variants in KLOTHO have been associated with human aging, [22] and klotho protein has been shown to be a circulating factor detectable in serum that declines with age. [23]

A 2009 review of longevity research noted: "Extrapolation from worms to mammals is risky at best, and it cannot be assumed that interventions will result in comparable life extension factors. Longevity gains from dietary restriction, or from mutations studied previously, yield smaller benefits to Drosophila than to nematodes, and smaller still ...
The hand of an older adult Life expectancy in various countries of the world in 2019. Biogerontology is the sub-field of gerontology concerned with the biological aging process, its evolutionary origins, and potential means to intervene in the process. [1]
BioViva was founded in 2015. [2] The CEO, Elizabeth Parrish, started the company by becoming the first person in human history to take gene therapies associated with lengthening lifespans in model organism, [3] she appeared at WIRED Health 2017 in London to discuss BioViva's testing of gene therapies targeting hallmarks of the ageing process.
The maximum life span of most species is documented in the AnAge repository (The Animal Ageing and Longevity Database). [ 22 ] Maximum life span is usually longer for species that are larger, at least among endotherms, [ 23 ] or have effective defenses against predation, such as bat or bird flight, [ 24 ] arboreality, [ 25 ] chemical defenses ...
