Letting up senescence and inflammaging through T cells
With the increase in human life expectancy, there is an urgent need to understand the common molecular pathways by which aging results in a progressively higher susceptibility to chronic morbidity, disability, and frailty. In the last years, immunometabolism has emerged as a new field to boost immune responses for cancer immunotherapies as well as to dampen autoimmune diseases. A recent discovery from my lab has revealed the critical role of T cell metabolism in accelerating the onset of age-associated diseases and multimorbidity. This finding has opened a new path to investigate the diverse T cell intrinsic and external stimuli that instruct T cell differentiation towards a dysfunctional…
