The Impact of Age, Sex, CMV, and Smoking on Circulating Immune Cells
As we age, our immune system undergoes changes that influence our susceptibility to various diseases. Certain factors, such as smoking, viruses, age, and sex can have differential impacts on our various circulating immune cells. How changes to these immune cells contribute to cardiovascular disease and other age-related diseases is not yet fully understood. More research is needed to fully understand the underlying mechanisms and implications. “Understanding the composition of circulating immune cells with aging and the underlying biologic mechanisms driving aging may provide molecular…
