Mice treated in middle age were much stronger etc in old age. There’s a US company working with us. Problem, as always, they have to go through the overly-long FDA process, and they can only do trials for a specific disease rather than for aging.

Klotho Neurosciences (KLTO) witnessed an astonishing 800% increase in stock value on June 9, 2025, after revealing positive results from pre-clinical studies. The company’s investigations indicated that enhancing Klotho gene expression may significantly lessen age-related deterioration across various organs while prolonging both lifespan and healthspan.
The focus of Klotho’s research is on the secreted protein s-KL, which has been identified as a potential anti-aging treatment owing to its wide-ranging biological impacts across various pathways linked to cellular damage, stress, and inflammation. In pre-clinical trials, the company employed an adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) delivery vector to express the secreted KL protein isoform, successfully boosting serum s-KL levels and achieving a remarkable 20% increase in lifespan.

This method tackles aging as a key risk factor that contributes to numerous health issues, such as cognitive decline, neuroinflammation, sarcopenia, and osteoporosis.

The company currently does not generate any revenue and has reported a negative net income of around $8 million over the past twelve months.
They have 3 employees. The stock is currently worth 65 million. Interesting. Is this a buy @DeStrider ?

Look up Liz Parrish, the most genetically modified person, we know of.
In 2015 she did Klotho gene therapy as well as Telomere gene therapy and has not looked back in her quest for meaningful extension of life span. I can agree that health span is probably increased but not extending “life span” past the hard stop at 120.
Follistatin and telomere. You can get better muscles and Klotho with exercise, and throw in about a dozen other things it does. And extending telomeres can cause cancer? More power to her and I hope it works, but I’m not nearly there yet with the gene therapy.
She could do it in this country as far as I’m concerned. I don’t know what the fuss is about.
I agree on doing it in this country. If we’re a free nation, then people should be able to make their own decisions about these things.
It’s a penny stock currently trading at $1.57 so that kind of move in a penny stock with good news is not unusual. Of course, it’s a huge risk, & sometimes there’s manipulation in these thinly trading pennies.
