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 Forces T Cells into Weakened Self-Protection, Study Finds
Overview: A Quiet Driver of Immunosenescence As people age, their immune systems often grow less capable of fending off infections and responding to vaccines. A groundbreaking study from the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology Faculty of Biology has uncovered a distinct mechanism by which the aging spleen creates a toxic environment that drives T cells into…
