New research finds reduced ELOVL2 enzyme activity speeds up immune cell aging and disrupts genes linked to cancer.

Immune cell changes occur during aging for a number of reasons ... The CD79B gene and other B cell-related genes affected by ELOVL2 enzymatic activity (PAX5, IRF4) are frequently mutated or abnormally ...

The immune system responds to viral infections by introducing a complex interplay of immune cells and factors, whose goal is to eliminate the intruding pathogen. One such effector cell in the ...
