Chronic low-grade inflammation has a key role in the aging process, a state called
inflammaging. It is known that the chronic inflammatory condition generates counteracting …

The trace element zinc is essential for the immune system, and zinc deficiency affects
multiple aspects of innate and adaptive immunity. There are remarkable parallels in the …

The functional competence of the immune system gradually declines with aging, a process
called immunosenescence. The age-related remodelling of the immune system affects both …

There is an accumulating body of evidence that a decline in immune function with age is
common to most if not all vertebrates. For instance, age-associated thymic involution seems …

The aging process is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation in both humans and
rodents, commonly called inflammaging. At the same time, there is a gradual decline in the …

The diet in the elderly does not provide a sufficient level of nutrients needed to maintain an
adequate healthy status leading to micronutrient deficiencies and impaired immune …

Immunosenescence is a process that primarily affects the T cell compartment of the immune
system, although age-associated immunological alterations have also been demonstrated in …

Background Immunosenescence is related to the deterioration of many immune functions,
which may be manifested in increased susceptibility to infection, cancer, and autoimmunity …

A chronic low-grade inflammation is one of the hallmarks of the aging process. This
gradually augmenting inflammatory state has been termed inflammaging. Inflammaging is …

A progressive decline in the integrity of the immune system is one of the physiologic
changes during aging. The frequency of autoimmune diseases or immune disorders …
