How Aging-Related Immune Decline and Chronic Inflammation Are Linked to Age-Related Diseases

AI simplified

Abstract

Cellular senescence is characterized by the arrest of the cell cycle in the G1 phase.

  • Cellular senescence, immunosenescence, and inflammaging are natural processes associated with aging.
  • Immunosenescence involves chronic inflammation and reduced immune response effectiveness, which could lead to chronic diseases.
  • Inflammaging refers to the immune system's dysregulation linked to advanced age.
  • Senolytic drugs that eliminate senescent cells and senomorphic drugs that inhibit inflammatory mediators are being explored as potential treatments.
  • These therapies may help delay, prevent, or improve age-related diseases.
