  • They play a crucial role in what's termed "immune fatigue" associated with aging.
INSIGHT

Inflammaging and Immunosenescence

  • Aging cells, termed "zombie" or "senescent" cells, release debris causing chronic inflammation ("inflammaging").
  • Immunosenescence, the decline of lymphocytes (immune system's elite forces), accompanies this.
