Researchers publishing in Nature have reported a new advance in developing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells to fight solid tumors in the brain. A difficult endeavor CAR T cell-based therapies are normally discussed in the context of blood cancers, as getting them to effectively attack solid tumors has proven very difficult, despite intensive research...

A researcher publishing in Biogerontology has reviewed the literature on the relationship between cellular senescence and the immune system, finding that dwindling immune surveillance allows senescent cells to accumulate. The immune system needs to be deadly On the cellular level, the bodies of vertebrates are brutal police states. Immune cells report, attack, and kill anything...

In npj Aging, researchers have described how immune cell infiltration in inflammaging can be reduced with an immune-related peptide in a mouse model. Immune cell infiltration What is Inflammaging? Chronic Inflammation and AgingOne of the aging processes consists of a chronic, smoldering background of inflammation that researchers call “inflammaging”.Read More In a previous paper, these...

It has been known for many years that microgravity in space interferes with human physiology in negative ways. As early as the first Apollo missions, astronauts experienced heart rhythm issues, low blood pressure, inner ear problems, and bone loss. Researchers at the Buck Institute have published a fascinating new study that shows the influence of...

Epigenetic aging measurements can vary by the time of day at which they are taken, according to a study published in Aging Cell. The circadian rhythm Living on Earth, organisms have evolved to adapt to our planet's day/night cycle. This adaptation is known as the circadian rhythm, and it influences many aspects of biology. As...

A new study suggests that depleting a subset of stem cells that overproduces myeloid cells can rescue age-related immunosenescence [1]. Thrown off balance Immunosenescence, the gradual decline in the immune system’s abilities, is one of the hallmarks of aging [2]. Moreover, many scientists view it as one of the most consequential processes of aging, as...
