“There’s a lot to say about how great Lia is, but I’ll try to touch on a few items. Lia embodies what it means to be a leader, innovator and to be someone who empowers others to achieve their dreams. She’s a person of many merits - a founder, innovator, mentor, leader and most of all an awesome person!! There’s very few people that you meet that truly care about other people’s successes, she’s one of them! Over my time at the University of Tennessee, she has been one of the most instrumental people in my success! I’m excited to cheer on as Lia takes on many successes, and will vouch for Lia any day. I’m honored to call Lia a mentor and friend.”

Age-related declines in α-Klotho drive progenitor cell mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired muscle regeneration
Nature Communications
While young muscle is capable of restoring the original architecture of damaged myofibers, aged muscle displays a markedly reduced regeneration. We show that expression of the “anti-aging” protein, α-Klotho, is up-regulated within young injured muscle as a result of transient Klotho promoter demethylation. However, epigenetic control of the Klotho promoter is lost with aging. Genetic inhibition of α-Klotho in vivo disrupted muscle progenitor cell (MPC) lineage progression and impaired myofiber…
While young muscle is capable of restoring the original architecture of damaged myofibers, aged muscle displays a markedly reduced regeneration. We show that expression of the “anti-aging” protein, α-Klotho, is up-regulated within young injured muscle as a result of transient Klotho promoter demethylation. However, epigenetic control of the Klotho promoter is lost with aging. Genetic inhibition of α-Klotho in vivo disrupted muscle progenitor cell (MPC) lineage progression and impaired myofiber regeneration, revealing a critical role for α-Klotho in the regenerative cascade. Genetic silencing of Klotho in young MPCs drove mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage and decreased cellular bioenergetics. Conversely, supplementation with α-Klotho restored mtDNA integrity and bioenergetics of aged MPCs to youthful levels in vitro and enhanced functional regeneration of aged muscle in vivo in a temporally-dependent manner. These studies identify a role for α-Klotho in the regulation of MPC mitochondrial function and implicate α-Klotho declines as a driver of impaired muscle regeneration with age.
