The rapid growth of the geriatric population is accompanied by an increased prevalence of age-associated diseases, leading to the deterioration of the immune system known as immunosenescence. This review highlights the characteristics of an aging immune system, such as dysregulation of immune cell production and functioning, and the potential of mesenchymal stem cell transplantation as a promising solution for halting immunosenescence.
Rapid growth of the geriatric population has been made possible with advancements in pharmaceutical and health sciences. Hence, age-associated diseases are becoming more common. Aging encompasses deterioration of the immune system, known as immunosenescence. Dysregulation of the immune cell production, differentiation, and functioning lead to a chronic subclinical inflammatory state termed inflammaging. The hallmarks of the aging immune system are decreased naive cells, increased memory cells, and increased serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation is a promising solution to halt immunosenescence as the cells have excellent immunomodulatory functions and low immunogenicity. This review compiles the present knowledge of the causes and changes of the aging immune system and the potential of MSC transplantation as a regenerative therapy for immunosenescence.
