Liver-Directed mRNA Delivery Restores Immune Function in Ageing
Ageing is associated with progressive decline in immune function, leading to increased susceptibility to infections, reduced vaccine efficacy, and diminished responses to cancer immunotherapy. This immune deterioration arises from a reduced capacity to generate new immune cells and the gradual accumulation of dysfunctional and exhausted immune cell states. Thymic involution, which starts early in childhood […]
