Immunosenescence in aging and neurodegenerative diseases: evidence, key hallmarks, and therapeutic implications [PDF]
Aging is a multifaceted biological process affecting various organ systems. Immunosenescence, a key feature of aging, markedly increases susceptibility to infections, cancers, autoimmune diseases, and also neurodegenerative disorders.

Bacterial Quorum-Sensing Peptides as Immune Modulators Present in Systemic Circulation
Quorum-sensing peptides (QSPs) are bacterial peptides traditionally considered only as inter-bacterial communication molecules. Recently, their involvement in microbiome–host interactions influencing host diseases such as cancer and sarcopenia were ...

Global research trends of immunosenescence and immunotherapy: A bibliometric study
Immunosenescence refers to the gradual decline in immune system function with age, increasing susceptibility to infections and cancer in the elderly. The advent of novel immunotherapies has revolutionized the field of cancer treatment.

Immunosenescence and cancer [PDF]
Age is a major risk factor for many cancers. Although this is usually viewed in the context of the cell biology, we argue here that age-associated changes to immunity may also contribute to the age-associated increasing incidence of most cancers. This is because cancers are immunogenic (at least initially), and the immune system can and does protect ...

Immunosenescence of ageing [PDF]
AbstractAgeing is a complex process that negatively impacts the development of the immune system and its ability to function. The mechanisms that underlie these age‐related defects are broad and range from defects in the haematopoietic bone marrow to defects in peripheral lymphocyte migration, maturation and function.

Elucidation of the role of nucleolin as a cell surface receptor for nucleic acid-based adjuvants
Nucleic acid-based adjuvants such as CpG oligonucleotides (CpG ODNs) and poly(I:C) are potential vaccine adjuvants for infectious diseases and cancers. However, the mechanism by which their cell surface receptors promote their uptake into dendritic cells

Bibliometric and visualization analysis of global research trends on immunosenescence (1970–2021)
Background: Immunosenescence, the aging of the immune system, leads to a decline in the body's adaptability to the environment and plays an important role in various diseases. Immunosenescence has been widely studied in recent years. However, to date, no
