Age-related declines in α-Klotho drive progenitor cell mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired muscle regeneration

While young muscle faithfully regenerates damaged myofibers, aged muscle is impaired. Here the authors show the “anti-aging” protein α-Klotho is upregulated in young muscle after damage via promoter demethylation and this regulation is lost in aging, resulting in mitochondrial damage and an impaired...
