What does the gut microbiome have to do with healthy aging? 🤔
Quite a lot, according to emerging research.
As we age, immune function can decline while chronic, low-grade inflammation increases. This process, known as immunosenescence and inflammaging, can influence many aspects of health.
T cells help maintain intestinal barrier integrity, regulate interactions with the microbiome, and support immune tolerance. As these functions become less effective with age, disruptions in gut homeostasis may contribute to microbial imbalance, barrier dysfunction, and chronic inflammation.
This evolving relationship between the gut, immune system, and microbiome may provide important insights into immune resilience and healthy aging.
