Oral Therapies Boost Alpha-Klotho, Key IPF Protective Protein, in Mice
Oral therapies that kill aging cells were found to boost the levels of alpha-Klotho, a protective protein that declines with age and safeguards animals against age-related diseases — including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) — in a study involving older mice. So-called senolytic therapies are designed to kill aging senescent…
