Klotho is a protein studied in aging biology. Its name appears in both biomarker research and experiments that administer a defined protein preparation. A 2023 study tested klotho in mice and aged rhesus monkeys. The primate experiments measured performance on a task requiring memory of a reward location. Researchers reported improved memory performance under particular experimental conditions. That finding concerns an animal task, not proof of preventing dementia or restoring human cognition. Different protein forms and experimental conditions need to remain identifiable. The study supports further research, while human effectiveness, durability, and safety require their own clinical evidence.
