Klotho in Osx+-mesenchymal progenitors exerts pro-osteogenic and anti-inflammatory effects during mandibular alveolar bone formation and repair
Klotho, a protein involved in aging and various physiological processes, plays a crucial role in bone formation and repair, especially in the jaw. It promotes bone-building cells and dampens inflammation, protecting against bone loss in conditions like gum disease and tooth extraction (at least in mice).
