Klotho prevents transforming growth factor-β2-induced senescent-like morphological changes in the retinal pigment epithelium

Abstract Degenerative changes of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) triggered by transforming growth factor-β2 (TGF-β2) and oxidative stress play a critical role in the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The expression of α-klotho, an antiaging protein, declines with age, incre...
