Klotho protein identified as key factor in slowing cellular aging

Medical experts are highlighting the role of the Klotho protein in slowing cellular aging. Dr. Borja Quiroga, a nephrology specialist, identifies the kidneys as a critical organ in this process, as they produce Klotho, a protein responsible for slowing the aging of cells.

According to Dr. Quiroga, activating this protein through specific lifestyle habits can increase both lifespan and quality of life. The research emphasizes that longevity is not just about adding years, but ensuring those years are lived with a healthy, functional body. Dr. Cristina Minguito, an internal medicine specialist at the Neolife medical group, is part of the clinical team focused on preventive medicine oriented toward longevity.
