A new aging clock can detect individuals with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and other diseases in time
Although the interaction between the immune system and many age-related diseases has been well characterized, there are few immune indicators that can be used to predict who is most at risk
The goal of the "1000 Immunoomics Project" is to study how the characteristics of chronic inflammation throughout the body change with aging
Researchers used artificial intelligence to develop a new immune index and named this inflammatory aging "clock" "iAge"
The researchers said that the chemokine CXCL9 is a protein that usually helps the immune system activate T cells, and its age-related release is also considered a key factor produced by endothelial cells that can speed up the iAge clock
Experts believe that the iAge clock provides a new way to discover the risk of age-related diseases and decreased immune function in individuals, and proposed that CXCL9 and other iAge proteins are potential new targets for the treatment of these symptoms
