Aging Spleen Triggers T Cell Exhaustion: New Study Finds a Toxic Environment
New insights into immune aging Researchers at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology Faculty of Biology have uncovered a striking mechanism that explains part of why the immune system weakens with age. The study identifies how structural changes in the aging spleen create a toxic microenvironment that pushes T cells into a self-protective, yet functionally compromised,…

Aging Spleen Shapes T Cell Health: New Study Reveals Mechanism and Therapies
Understanding the aging immune system As people age, the immune system often becomes less effective, leaving older adults more susceptible to infections and slower to recover. A recent study from the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology Faculty of Biology sheds light on a specific cofactor in this decline: the aging spleen. The researchers describe how changes…

Fluad: An Adjuvanted Flu Vaccine for People 65 and Older
Fluad and the Protection of Seniors (65+) Against Influenza Fluad is an enhanced adjuvanted, trivalent influenza vaccine that France’s Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) recommends preferentially for adults aged 65 and older. In practice, HAS regards adjuvanted vaccines like Fluad as offering protection comparable to high-dose vaccines such as Efluelda, and it positions them as…
