Scientists find an immune “false alarm” that may drive rapid aging

1 day ago 12

New research suggests that an overactive immune sensor may play a major role in severe genetic disorders linked to rapid aging. By reducing the activity of this sensor, scientists were able to improve tissue health across several biological systems, challenging long-held ideas about how DNA damage drives degeneration.

The immune system is designed to recognize and eliminate threats such as viruses. But under certain conditions, that protective machinery can mi...
