    Age-related Impairments Reversed in Animal Model

    July 7, 2020, Categories  Health/Medical, Biology/Biotechnology

    With age the frequency of adipose tissue eosinophils decreases gradually. This leads to the production of inflammatory mediators, which promote age-related impairments (e.g. frailty and immunosenescence). Eosinophil cell transfers increase the frequency of these cells in adipose tissue and dampen age-related chronic low-grade inflammation. This results in systemic rejuvenation of the aged organism. © DBMR, University of Bern, D. Brigger

    Frailty and immune decline are two main features of old age. Researchers now demonstrate in an animal model that these two age-related impairments can be halted and even partially reversed using a novel cell-based therapeutic approach.

    Elderly people are more prone to infectious diseases as the function of their immune system continuously declines w...
