TL;DR
UCSF researchers injected monkeys with a protein named "klotho" that has links to aging but its function is unknown. The group already did this in mice, this time they did it in monkeys; low-dose injection caused monkeys to do better on cognitive tasks.

I don't know what klotho is or why only low-dose injection worked but... I have never seen a study like this that actually worked before, so this is new and interesting to me. ~~Also this group only did one experiment why did it go to Nature Aging~~
