Aging and immunity

Review

Aging and immunity

Christoph A Thaiss et al. Immunity. .

Abstract

Time marches endlessly on … but what does that mean for the immune system? Here, investigators discuss how aging impacts the immune response and how immune cells can shape the aging process, with broader implications for modifying immunity to improve not only longevity but also health span.
