Resilient Biophysical Phenotype of Memory CD4+ T Cells in Long‐Lived Mice

Immunology, EarlyView.
Aging is associated with increased stiffness and reduced migratory capacity of memory CD4+ T cells; however, these biophysical declines do not persist in exceptionally long‐lived mice. Instead, long‐lived individuals preserve T cell mechanics, migration and intracellular architecture, supporting mechanical resilience as a hallmark of successful immune ...
