Bilobetin eased infection-driven immune aging in mice
In experiments with nonlethal influenza infection, middle-aged mice—but not young mice—were susceptible to lasting immune deterioration.In experiments with nonlethal influenza infection, middle-aged mice—but not young mice—were susceptible to lasting immune deterioration.
Mouse studyBlood and immune system
Who was studiedMiddle-aged mice with nonlethal influenza infection
What changedBilobetin eased blood-forming stem-cell aging and wider immune-system aging in mice
The catchStem-cell aging markers are proxies for immune function, not direct measures of infection resistance
