Summary

Story summary

A new subset of T helper lymphocytes increases with age and helps eliminate senescent cells, slowing aging, according to Prof. Alon Monsonego of Ben-Gurion University.
The work shows that T helper lymphocytes change function with age, potentially indicating biological age.
Monsonego recommends monitoring immune patterns starting in the 30s to better understand biological aging.
The findings were published in Nature Aging.
