Several rhesus monkeys were given anti-aging protein Klotho injections, resulting in better memory. Read more here.
For the first time, scientists have been able to show that klotho, a naturally-occurring protein that declines in mammals with age, can improve the cognitive function of aging monkeys, new study findings report. Before being tested in primates, klotho — named after Clotho, one of the three mythological Fates — had shown promising cognitive benefits […]
First primate studies to show cognitive benefits of the protein klotho could be a step towards clinical applications. First primate studies to show cognitive benefits of the protein klotho could be a step towards clinical applications.
Alzheimer's progressively destroys thinking and memory, eventually robbing people of the ability to carry out the simplest of tasks.
