Researchers propose using encapsulated cells as a steady source of the antiaging protein Klotho, which extends mouse lifespan by 20–30%.
- Field
- ageing and longevity
- What they did
- Researchers propose using implanted cells as a steady source of the Klotho protein, which acts as an antiaging agent.
- Why it matters
- Klotho extends lifespan: mice lacking it age prematurely and die sooner, while mice with excess Klotho lived 20% to 30% longer.
