In this study, Desferal, deferoxamine mesylate for injection, which is approved for the treatment of acute iron intoxication and chronic iron overload, was used to explore the beneficial effects on preventing aging-induced bone loss and mitigating dysfunction of aged BMSCs. High-dose Desferal significantly prevented bone loss in aged rats. Compared with controls, the ex vivo experiments showed that short-term Desferal administration could promote the potential of BMSC growth and improve the rebalance of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation, as well as rejuvenate senescent BMSCs and revise the expression of stemness/senescence-associated genes. The potential of BMSCs from the Desferal group at least partly revised to the level close to that of the 2-month-old group. Klotho Links Inflammation, Salt Sensitivity, Hypertension and Mortality in Aging https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2021/01/klotho-links-inflammation-salt-sensitivity-hypertension-and-mortality-in-aging/ Klotho is one of the few robustly demonstrated longevity-associated genes. Greater expression extends life in mice, while reduced expression shortens life. Present investigations of the mechanisms by which klotho produces effects on life span are largely focused on the direct actions of klotho in the kidney, and then the effects of kidney function on broader health. Kidney function influences cardiovascular decline and the aging of other organs through a variety of mechanisms. While klotho...
