Abstract
The interplay between aging and immune system deterioration presents a formidable challenge to human health, especially in the context of a globally aging population. Aging is associated with a decline in the body's ability to combat infections and an increased risk of various diseases, underlining the importance of rejuvenating the immune system as a strategy for promoting healthier aging. In issue 628 of Nature (2024), Ross et al. present a compelling study that introduces a novel strategy for rejuvenating the aged immune system (Ross et al., 2024). By using antibodies to selectively eliminate "aberrant" hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), this research opens new avenues for addressing age-related immune deterioration.
期刊介绍:
Cellular Reprogramming is the premier journal dedicated to providing new insights on the etiology, development, and potential treatment of various diseases through reprogramming cellular mechanisms. The Journal delivers information on cutting-edge techniques and the latest high-quality research and discoveries that are transforming biomedical research.
Cellular Reprogramming coverage includes:
Somatic cell nuclear transfer and reprogramming in early embryos
Embryonic stem cells
Nuclear transfer stem cells (stem cells derived from nuclear transfer embryos)
Generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and/or potential for cell-based therapies
Epigenetics
Adult stem cells and pluripotency.
