CKD and the aging-like phenotype may be driven by proximal rather than distal nephron Klotho dysregulation.

Antiaging, Klotho, kidney or mineral metabolism interests you? ππ§΅
After 5+ years of work, weοΏ½οΏ½re excited to share our research just published in Kidney Int. It dissects nephron segment-specific roles of Klotho in the kidney. @Kidney_Int @ISNkidneycare @CityUHongKong @UZH_en
Limitation / open question:
How exactly proximal and distal nephron segments secrete sKlotho into blood vs urine is still unclear.
And importantly- what is urinary sKlotho actually doing? Biomarker only, or local tubular function?
Definitely an area for future work.
Open postdoc position in our group!!
