Summary

Story summary

A recent study challenges inflammaging by finding no consistent rise in inflammation markers with age.
The research shows aging reprograms T cells, crucial for antibody production, affecting vaccine responses.
The Nature-published study indicates T cell changes occur independently of inflammation.
A separate study highlights CD4 T cells' role in maintaining immune balance with age.
These findings suggest new strategies for vaccine design and aging interventions.
