Article Abstract
Background: Up to 90% of skin aging is caused by ultraviolet radiation, resulting in significant photodamage and clinical burden. Klotho Skin Serum, formulated with the Klotho protein for anti-aging, shows promise based on preclinical studies exploring its physiological functions and therapeutic applications.
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of Klotho Skin Serum in improving visible signs of photoaging.
Methods: Female participants (N=16) aged 30 to 60 years with mild to moderate photodamage received Klotho Skin Serum twice daily for 12 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was the investigator evaluated global improvement in skin aging (fine lines and wrinkles) at Week 12.
Results: Global improvements in skin aging were reported with Klotho Skin Serum throughout the study. At Week 12, statistically significant improvements from baseline were observed with Klotho Skin Serum (p<0.001) with significant improvements also reported at all timepoints. The application of Klotho Skin Serum led to robust improvements in key secondary outcomes from baseline to Week 16, including notable reductions in photodamage, erythema, wrinkles, and dyschromia.
Conclusions: Klotho protein containing serum is an efficacious and safe treatment option to address photodamage and to improve the visible signs of photodamage and skin aging. Large-scale clinical studies are warranted to further evaluate its use in skin aging.

Background: Toluene is a common volatile organic compound (VOC) that usually enters the body through breathing or skin absorption. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is a by-product of protein metabolism and is commonly used as an indicator to assess renal function. α-Klotho protein is detected mainly in the kidney and has antioxidant, anti-aging, and nephroprotective properties.

Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a key contributor to dermal fibrosis. The soluble form of the α-Klotho (sKL) hormone has been shown to counteract fibrotic processes in multiple organs, but its role in dermal fibrosis and EndMT remains unexplored. To investigate whether sKL may inhibit transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1)-induced EndMT in human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (H-dMVECs), cells pretreated with recombinant human sKL and subsequently stimulated with recombinant human TGFβ1 were assessed for morphological changes, gene and protein expression of both endothelial and mesenchymal/myofibroblast markers, and functional contractility through qPCR, Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and collagen gel contraction assays, respectively.

Aging can prolong the wound healing and is associated with decline in stem cells, delays in cellular migration, and lower vascularization. Tissue engineering has largely evolved to incorporate advanced three-dimensional wound dressings, scaffolds, and hydrogels that may be seeded with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to foster an environment conducive to regeneration and enhance the healing process. The effectiveness of stem cell-seeded scaffolds can be improved by incorporating activating agents such as nucleic acids resulting in gene-activated scaffolds (GAS), thereby facilitating targeted wound healing in aged patients.

Aim: Wounds in the elderly are frequently recalcitrant and chronic as a result of the effects of skin aging and associated complications. The objective of this study is to utilize an α-Klotho knockout (KO) mice wound model to assess the capacity of amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) to facilitate wound healing in aging skin.
Methods: AMSCs were applied topically to the wound after extraction and gelatinization of the conditioned medium (CM).
