Mortality

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Immune age raises the risk of mortality in humans (HRperSD 1.42, 95% CI 1.29-1.57).

    “immune (1.42 [1.29-1.57]), and heart (1.38 [1.25-1.53]) ageing were most strongly associated with higher mortality risk.”

Lymph node shrinkage limited cancer recognition in male mice

Mouse experiments found earlier loss of immune cells not yet activated by their targets in males, alongside faster lymph node shrinkage.Mouse experiments found earlier loss of immune cells not yet activated by their targets in males, alongside faster lymph node shrinkage.

Immune cell ratio linked to healthy and disease-related aging

An observational analysis of 2,609 apparently healthy people linked the balance of two memory immune-cell groups to healthy and disease-associated aging patterns.An observational analysis of 2,609 apparently healthy people linked the balance of two memory immune-cell groups to healthy and disease-associated aging patterns.

Antibody reactivity shows focal remodeling across human aging

A study of 853 adults aged 20 to 94 years found antibody architecture broadly preserved, with age-associated signals concentrated in focal targets.A study of 853 adults aged 20 to 94 years found antibody architecture broadly preserved, with age-associated signals concentrated in focal targets.

SATB1 loss reshapes 3D genome in mouse naive T cells

Diminished SATB1 in murine naive CD4⁺ T cells weakens TAD boundaries, rewires enhancer-promoter interactions, and increases proinflammatory gene expression during aging.Diminished SATB1 in murine naive CD4⁺ T cells weakens TAD boundaries, rewires enhancer-promoter interactions, and increases proinflammatory gene expression during aging.
