Neutrophils Exhibit Senescence-Like Behavior in Older Individuals
Fight Aging!
4 hours
 
An increasing number of cells in aged tissues enter a senescent state, ceasing replication and generating pro-inflammatory signals that are disruptive to tissue structure and function. In the case of innate immune cells, however, there is some question as to whether they are in fact senescent or just adopting features of senescence, and that lead…
 
A Model of the Evolution of Aging that Accounts for Immortal Species
