European Wellness Biomedical Group (EWBG) has embarked on a cutting-edge research initiative centered around Klotho, a protein with promising applications in longevity medicine. Spearheaded by Professor Dr. Mike Chan, the project aims to dissect the ways in which Klotho can tackle age-related diseases by rejuvenating pivotal organs like the brain, kidneys, and heart.

Discovered in 1997, Klotho is becoming integral to the fields of longevity and regenerative medicine, known for its regulatory prowess over oxidative stress, mineral metabolism, and inflammation. The focus is on how enhancing Klotho levels might counter chronic conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases, kidney failure, and cardiovascular disorders, thus improving healthspan and lifespan.

"Klotho epitomizes the new frontier in longevity medicine," says Professor Mike Chan, Chief Scientist at EWBG. "Our research is set on demystifying Klotho's impact on aging and leveraging it for treating chronic diseases traditionally linked to aging." The initiative targets three major research areas: neurological health, kidney functionality, and cardiovascular wellbeing.
