Dendritic cells in human aging

Anshu Agrawal et al. Exp Gerontol. 2007 May.

Abstract

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a critical role in linking innate and adaptive immunity. A role of DCs in immunosenescence and chronic inflammation associated with aging has not been investigated in detail. In this article, we will briefly review DCs biology and changes associated with human aging.
