1] Factors involved in Inflammaging Aging leads to perturbations in cellular homeostasis leading to inflammaging that results in pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion. Inflammaging (also known as inflamm-aging or inflamm-ageing ) is a chronic, sterile, low-grade inflammation that develops with advanced age, in the absence of overt infection, and ...
Aging of the immune system is a controversial phenomenon. Senescence refers to replicative senescence from cell biology , which describes the condition when the upper limit of cell divisions ( Hayflick limit ) has been exceeded, and such cells commit apoptosis or lose their functional properties.
[59] [60] [61] A substantial body of evidence implicates chronic inflammation as a critical driver of immune dysfunction, premature appearance of aging-related diseases, and immune deficiency. [ 59 ] [ 62 ] Many now regard HIV infection not only as an evolving virus-induced immunodeficiency, but also as chronic inflammatory disease. [ 63 ]
Aging is characterized by a progressive loss of physiological integrity, leading to impaired function and increased vulnerability to death. The hallmarks of aging are the types of biochemical changes that occur in all organisms that experience biological aging and lead to a progressive loss of physiological integrity, impaired function and, eventually, death.

The Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Biology of Ageing, founded in 2008, is one of over 80 independent, non-profit-making institutes set up under the umbrella of the Max Planck Society. The overall research aim is to obtain fundamental insights into the aging process and thus to pave the way towards healthier aging in humans. An international ...
