Is This Protein Aging Your Immune System? New Research Suggests Yes
Research indicates that a decline in platelet factor 4, a naturally occurring protein, contributes to immune system aging by causing blood stem cells to multiply excessively and become prone to mutations linked to age-related diseases. Restoring this protein in studies involving older mice and human stem cells rejuvenated aging blood and immune cells, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for age-related immune decline. This discovery offers hope for interventions aimed at maintaining a more youthful and robust immune response in older adults.
