The Role of Immunosenescence in the Development of Age-Related Diseases.
Aging is a complex phenomenon leading to numerous changes in the physiological systems of the body. One of the most important changes, called immunosenescence, occurs in the immune system. Immunosenescence covers changes in the innate and the adaptive immune systems and is associated with a low-grade inflammation called inflammaging. Aging, likely via inflammaging, is also associated with the e...
متن کاملImmunosenescence comes of age
Introduction Ageing of the immune system (immunosenescence) contributes to the increased susceptibility of the elderly to infectious disease and to the poor outcome of vaccination. Defence against pathogens is compromised mainly because of changes in adaptive immunity mediated by T and B lymphocytes; however, all components of the immune system are affected (Fig 1). Dissecting the crucial alter...
متن کاملMicroRNAs in age-related diseases
Aging is a complex process that is linked to an increased incidence of major diseases such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease, but also cancer and immune disorders. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs, which post-transcriptionally control gene expression by inhibiting translation or inducing degradation of targeted mRNAs. MiRNAs target up to hundreds of mRNAs, thereby modu...
متن کاملAging, Obesity, and Inflammatory Age-Related Diseases
The increase in the prevalence of obesity represents a worldwide phenomenon in all age groups and is pathologically and genetically correlated with several metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, representing the most frequent age-related diseases. Obesity superimposed on aging drastically increases chronic low-grade inflammation (inflammaging), which is an important link between obesity, insuli...
متن کاملMitochondrial Genomic Disintegrity and Age-Related Diseases
The mitochondrial genome resides within mitochondria, the principal source of intracellular reactive oxygen species, and is thus exposed to far greater oxidative stress than nuclear DNA. The mitochondrial genome also demonstrates more intensive oxidative damage and a higher mutation rate than nuclear DNA. These facts are one reason for the age-related decline in the function of various tissues ...
