'There's a very strong reason to jump into human clinical trials now.'
The new study, which was conducted by a team of American researchers and published this week in the journalshows promise that restorative klotho treatments might achieve similar cognitive results in aging humans.
To examine klotho's efficacy, the monkeys were subjected to a relatively simple spatial memory experiment. As study co-author Dena Dubal, a physician-researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, described to, the experiment was the equivalent of asking a human to remember where their car is parked. The researchers first hid a certain snack away in one of many wells, then prompted the primates to recall where the treat had been hidden.
The primates were more receptive to low doses of the protein than higher doses, a stark contrast from the results of previous mice trials.
