I have been trying to find out what is used to prepare Klotho gene therapy a therapy that supposedly could be used for Parkinson's, Alzheimers and ALS

"Initial data suggest that maintaining high levels of the Klotho protein in the body may help people live longer and healthier lives, while individuals with lower levels of the protein are more susceptible to neurodegenerative diseases, the company said.

The company has been granted patents for the program in Europe, China, and Hong Kong, and awaits patent issuance in the U.S. and Canada. The program includes the development of therapies to deliver the Klotho gene to neurons (nerve cells) in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) that could advance to clinical trials, as well as the development and commercialization of a diagnostic tool to quantify Klotho gene and protein levels in blood samples."
