Vaccination and Antiviral Therapies Targeting CMV as an Approach to Reducing Immunosenescence

Today’s open access paper discusses possible approaches to the treatment of immunosenescence, the age-related decline in effectiveness of the immune system. Unfortunately it is largely a tour of compensatory treatments, ways to force the cells of the immune system into greater or more useful activity without addressing any of the underlying causes of immunosenescence. Many of these methodologies have serious side-effects, are disruptive of normal immune function and overall health, and cannot be applied for the long term. Checkpoint inhibition, or the delivery of recombinant IL-7, for example, both of which are used as short term interventions to treat cancer. The path to actually fixing the aged immune system by addressing causes is quite different. It would involve restoring the thymus from atrophy in order
