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]
[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 longest documented human lifespan is 122 years 164 days, the case of Jeanne Calment, who according to records was born in 1875 and died in 1997, whereas the maximum lifespan of a wildtype mouse, commonly used as a model in research on aging, is about three years. [10]

Longevity is the buzzword. Women are already living on average six years longer than men and might easily make it past 100 — more than 8 in 10 centenarians are women.

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.
