Clotho: A Potential Game-Changer for Alzheimer's Risk
The ApoE4 gene significantly increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease, with 4-carriers facing up to an 80% likelihood of developing the condition. However, the presence of the clotho gene can mitigate this risk, suggesting that some individuals may have protective factors against dementia, possibly balancing out genetic predispositions. Promising research involving mice indicates that administration of clotho can reverse dementia symptoms and enhance cognitive function, even boosting intelligence in non-demented monkeys. Ongoing investments aim to advance these findings into human trials within the next year and a half, highlighting clotho's potential as a therapeutic tool for brain health and cognitive decline.
