The aging immune system demonstrates a reduced capacity to mount a robust immune
response (immunosenescence), thereby increasing the susceptibility to various infectious …

The age-related dysregulation and decline of the immune system—collectively termed
“immunosenescence”—has been generally associated with an increased susceptibility to …

The elderly have increased susceptibility to infectious diseases and a decreased response
to vaccination. A large body of data suggests this is a result of age-related functional …

The progressive increase of the aged population worldwide mandates new strategies to
ensure sustained health and well-being with age. The development of better and/or new …

Understanding why we age and how that process can be delayed or reversed are topics that
have engaged both researchers and the general public [1]. From a scientific perspective …

Advancing age is accompanied by profound changes in immune function; some are induced
by the loss of critical niches that support development of naïve cells (eg thymic involution) …

Aging is associated with declines in immune system function, or 'immunosenescence',
leading to progressive deterioration in both innate and adaptive immunity. These changes …

Older adults are more susceptible to viral and bacterial infection, and experience higher
incidence and severity of infectious diseases. Although vaccination is the most logical …

Background: Decline in immune function with advancing age is a hallmark of aging. As a
result, infectious diseases cause more morbidity and mortality to the elderly. These age …

An age‐related decline in immune functions, referred to as immunosenescence, is partially
responsible for the increased prevalence and severity of infectious diseases, and the low …
